About this course
Psychotherapy integration involves an attempt to transcend the confines of any single theoretical view in order to discover what can be learned from other perspectives. Some have approached this by looking for common factors, while others have proposed conceptualizing from a particular school of thought while using techniques from other therapeutic approaches. In the absence of any coherent, unifying model to date, the Clinical Biopsychological Model is felt to represent a significant step toward that elusive unified theory for psychotherapy. This online course attempts to further bridge the conceptual divide between a neurophysiological theory and an applied clinical model for mental health practitioners. General concepts of the Dimensional Systems Model are presented, followed by an overview of the Clinical Biopsychological Model. The discussion next focuses on interpersonal behavior patterns that provide a new schema for the treatment of mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, PTSD) and relationship issues. In addition, detailed information is provided in the course appendices to guide clinicians interested in integrating these brain-based psychotherapy techniques into their assessment, conceptualization, and treatment of clients.
