The reading
Integration is the modal orientation among practising therapists, which makes teaching it properly a necessity rather than a specialism. The discipline is simple to state and hard to keep: name the model you are working in, justify every element you import, specify in advance what would trigger a change, and make sure the patient experiences one treatment rather than several.
