Integrative Psychotherapy - Toward a Comprehensive Christian Approach

Integrating Models of Therapy with a Theological Framework

In Integrative Psychotherapy, Mark McMinn and Clark Campbell present an integrative model of psychotherapy that is grounded in Christian biblical and theological teaching and in a critical and constructive engagement with contemporary psychology.

This foundational work integrates behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal models of therapy within a Christian theological framework. Not only do theauthors integrate Christian faith and spirituality with the latest thinking in behavioral science at a theoretical level, they also integrate the theoretical and academic with the pastoral and clinical, offering a practical guide for the practitioner.

Topics covered in Integrative Psychotherapy include:

• Christian and scientific foundations of integrative psychotherapy
• Assessment and case conceptualization
• Understanding symptom-focused, schema-focused, and relationship-focused interventions
• How to apply the different types of interventions
