Abstract
Abstract This chapter presents an introduction to this title, including a rationale, and outline of the structure and arguments. It explores meanings of integration, forces of change in psychotherapy (history of integration, disillusionment, emergent therapies, socio-economic factors, and the ‘drug metaphor’ and medical model), as well as common factors of therapy, and the therapeutic alliance.
