Abstract

Chapter 10: “Working Through and Working On” takes an extended look at two clinical moments to talk about the actual practice of integrative psychotherapy. Recognition of patterns and continuity of experience are discussed. In this chapter, readers have an opportunity to see how the different elements in the preceding chapters can be brought into a practice on a regular and smoothly integrated basis. Based on research and clinical examples, the chapter shows clinicians how they might integrate their own work. The concepts of detailed inquiry and small moments of change are re-visited and considered extensively in the context of clinical material.
