Integration in psychotherapy: a case study

Abstract

From an integrative point of view, we faced a case which was approached from four different troubling aspects: The elaboration of mourning, the individuation, the personal identity and the bond relation. Given human complexity and people's inner psychological phenomena, we focused on the patient as a whole. Therefore, we used an integrative approach in psychotherapy. Starting from a basic model, we used toolsfrom different, not incompatible, theoretical approaches.
