"Resistance or coherence: an integration therapy "

Abstract

This paper describes the process of therapy of a depressive client througth exploring her personal meaning system. We challenge the concept of “resistence” by substituding it by the concept of coherence of her system that keeps her symptom. To understand her internal logic allows to challenge it and make it more complex. We describe different strategies, from an integrative view, which permits a more rich and detailed construction that allows the client to face her life in a more rewarding manner.
