Advantages And Potential Drawbacks Of Integrative Therapy

/in /by

With the majority of practicing psychologists indicating that they practice integrative therapy, it might be easy to assume that integrative therapy is better than practicing a single therapy. What do you think? What are the advantages and potential drawbacks of integrating divergent therapeutic interventions into your practice rather than adhering to one particular school of thought and practice?

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Dr. Norcross’ course media presentation, “Integrative Therapy.” Focus on his discussion related to the benefits and challenges of integrative therapy.

• Review the journal article, “Some Limits to the Integration of Psychoanalytic and Behavior Therapy.” Pay particular attention to the potential difficulties in merging differing therapeutic perspectives.

• Consider the advantages and potential challenges of using integrative therapies.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write an analysis of the advantages and potential drawbacks of integrative therapies. Provide specific examples. Briefly describe how you would handle the potential drawbacks you mention.

What theoretical framework or perspective would you use?

/in /by

ext, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What are your research questions? To what extent can you test them? How would you justify the viability of your questions?
  • What are your hypotheses? How would you test them?
  • Why would this design be the most appropriate for answering the research questions? Conversely, why would quantitative or qualitative on their own not be appropriate?
    • For a mixed methods design, which design is the primary one? Why is that appropriate?
  • What approach would you select for this study (experimental, survey, ethnography, grounded theory, etc.)? Why is that approach the most appropriate one for answering the research questions?
  • What theoretical framework or perspective would you use?
  • What is your target population? How would you identify and recruit participants? What factors would contribute to determining appropriate sample size? You will not need to calculate sample size for this assignment.
  • If appropriate for your plan, what instruments might you need?
  • What data collection procedures might you use? Why would those be the most appropriate methods to use? How would that data help to answer your research question(s)/hypotheses?
  • How would you ensure quality and reliability of data?
  • What are threats to validity? How might you mitigate them?
  • How might you analyze the data?
  • What are the ethical considerations related to the plan?

The assignment:

  • Craft a 2- to 3-page paper in which you do the following:
    • Provide an introduction.
    • Provide a purpose statement.
    • Provide viable research questions/hypotheses.
    • Generate a written research plan that addresses the above questions.

This week in the optional Workshop Discussion, consider posting the following information for feedback from your colleagues:

  • A draft of your abbreviated mixed methods research plan

 

 

The Scenario is below

 

 

 

Stress pervades many areas of life. Whether it is stress from relationships, work, school, or the social environment, research has shown that it can have a profound impact on mental health, physical well-being, productivity, performance, and decision making. Research on cognitive appraisals, coping, and social support has also provided insight into how people view and manage stress.
