| Abstract: | Emerging from the growing trend toward integration in the field of psychotherapy, Integrative Problem-Centered Therapy (IPCT) provides a model for applying different modalities (individual and family) and orientations (behavioral, communicational and psychodynamic) to the broad range of problems patients bring to psychotherapy. Based on the assumption that each modality and orientation possesses its own domain of expertise, IPCT attempts to interrelate the major modalities and orientations to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. The goal is to create a maximally effective and efficient problem-centered psychotherapy. This paper presents an overview of IPCT, delineating its core principles and premises as well as the basic methodological steps in IPCT. |
