Terapia cognitivo conductual integrativa

Abstract

In the last years, interest has grown to integrate the diverse frameworks that coexist within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, CBT history identifi ed such integration from its beginning. Along with this historic evolution, characterized by a dialectical process of tensions and integration, this article depicts the principles that facilitate an integration in two directions. First, we describe the fundamentals upon which integration of frameworks coexist in the fi eld of CBT. Second, the thesis that CBT can act as a pivot enhancing the integration of theoretical models. Three core ideas serve as potential articulators of the integration movement if adopted. a) To apply a broad information processing framework; b) To design and apply interventions focused both on the behavioral and experiential level; c) The paramount importance of personality.
