Making a Patchwork Quilt
Providing multitheoretical psychotherapy is like making a patchwork quilt. A counselor chooses individual pieces of cloth (strategies) from different types of fabric (theories) and assembles them in a unique pattern.

Are you multitheoretical?
How many theories do you feel comfortable using to
conceptualize clients or guide interventions?
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com

Assimilative Integration
• Many integrative therapists choose a foundational theory but use ideas and strategies from other approaches as well.
• Assimilative Integration favors a firm grounding in a single system of psychotherapy and then incorporates techniques from different theories within the preferred orientation.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com

Multitheoretical Psychotherapy• Multitheoretical Psychotherapy (MTP) provides a
way to understand the relationship between psychotherapy theories based on the way these approaches focus on different dimensions.
• MTP describes a catalog of key strategies that counselors can learn over time.
• MTP describes a method of integrative treatment planning based on collaborative dialogue with individual clients.

LESSON ONE
Five Principles for
Integrative Psychotherapy
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
8
Integrative psychotherapy should be…
• Intentional
• Multidimensional
• Multitheoretical
• Strategy-based
• Relational
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
9
PRINCIPLE ONE
Intentional Integration• Psychotherapy should be based on intentional
choices• Intentionality should guide a therapist’s choice
of focus, conceptualization, and intervention strategies
• Intentionality supports idiographic treatment, allowing counselors to tailor therapy to the individual needs of each client
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
10
Intentional integration represents a middle ground between intuitive and technical
integration
Intuitive INTENTIONAL Technical
Intuitive Integration Based on the therapists’ clinical wisdom and personal perceptions
Intentional Integration Based on collaborative dialogue with clients and is informed by clinical experience, theory, and research
Technical Integration Based on scientific research or treatment protocols written by experts
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
11
PRINCIPLE TWO
Multidimensional Integration Psychotherapy should recognize the rich interaction
between multiple dimensions within individuals’ lives Integrative psychotherapy supports multidimensional
adaptation in the form of functional thoughts, effective actions, and adaptive feelings that allow clients to adjust to biological, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural contexts

13
PRINCIPLE THREE
Multitheoretical Integration• Integrative psychotherapists utilize diverse theories to
understand clients and guide interventions• Multitheoretical conceptualization allows therapists to view
theories as complementary vantage points to create a comprehensive formulation
• Multitheoretical practice involves combining strategies from different theoretical traditions
• Multitheoretical integration enacts a pluralistic philosophy, emphasizing diversity rather than homogeneity and multiplicity rather than unity

15
PRINCIPLE FOUR
Strategy-Based Integration
• Integrative psychotherapists utilize a wide variety of specific strategies drawn from different theoretical traditions
• Strategy-based integration enacts a pragmatic philosophy, translating theory into action
• Integration occurs when strategies from different theories are combined in practice
• Underlying theories do not need to be reconciled
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
16
Key Strategies• Key strategies are skills or techniques that counselors
use with clients to work toward therapeutic goals• Strategy markers indicate when a particular strategy may
be useful• Expected consequences describe the likely outcome of
using a specific strategy• Key strategies can be learned, practiced, and
implemented with clients
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
17
Cognitive Strategy 9.Encouraging accurate perceptions of
realistic constraints
• Strategy Marker: When clients are focusing on unrealistic hopes that interfere with effective problem solving, it is appropriate to encourage accurate perceptions & proactive choices
• Expected Consequence: If clients are encouraged to recognize realistic constraints, the predicted outcome is more accurate views, more effective responses, & more adaptive choices
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
18
Experiential Strategy 3.Encouraging awareness and expression of
feelings
• Strategy Marker: When clients are unaware of their own feelings, or ignore and suppress them, you should encourage awareness and expression
• Expected Consequence: If awareness and expression of feelings is encouraged, it is anticipated that clients will gain insight from their emotions and consolidate their personal experiences
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
19
PRINCIPLE FIVE
Relational Integration
• Psychotherapy integration should be implemented within the context of an effective therapeutic relationship.
• Different styles of relationships can be developed with clients based on individual needs and preferences.

LESSON TWO
Working Interactively with
Thoughts, Actions, & Feelings
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
22
Maladaptive thoughts, actions, and feelings
are highly interactive
Dysfunctional Maladaptive
Thoughts Feelings
Ineffective
Actions
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
23
Maladaptive Interactions
• Maladaptive Feelings like hopelessness are often associated with…
• Dysfunctional Thoughts like “I’m a loser; no one would want to date me,” and…
• Ineffective Actions like social isolation and withdrawal.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
24
Adaptive Interactions• Adaptive Feelings—like hope and a
desire to overcome loneliness—are more likely to be associated with…
• Functional Thoughts like “Maybe I’ll meet someone nice at the party,” and…
• Effective Actions associated with overcoming fears and talking to new people in a social setting.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
25
Working Interactively
• A counselor can work interactively with thoughts, actions, and feelings to promote multidimensional adaptation and change.
• Different points of clinical leverage can be used with different clients or in response to different situations with the same client.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
26
Cognitive Strategies
• Cognitive psychotherapy focuses on thoughts and uses these cognitions as a point of clinical leverage to encourage multidimensional change.
• Cognitive strategies encourage functional thoughts that are rational, evidence-based, and promote effective adaptation to the environment.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
27
Cognitive interventions are designed to have a primary impact on thoughts and a
secondary impact on actions and feelings

Behavioral Strategies• Behavioral psychotherapy focuses on actions
and uses these behaviors as a point of clinical leverage to encourage multidimensional change.
• Behavioral strategies support effective actions or reduce maladaptive conditioned responses.
• Effective actions help people meet their needs, attain their goals, or avoid undesirable consequences.

LESSON THREE
Exploring Biological, Interpersonal, Systemic, and
Cultural Contexts
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
43
Where do maladaptive thoughts, actions,
and feelings come from? Dysfunctional thoughts, ineffective actions, and maladaptive feelings are shaped by…
• Biology
• Interpersonal Patterns
• Social Systems
• Cultural Contexts
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
44
Working Contextually
An integrative psychotherapist explores and works within biological, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural contexts to promote adaptation to these environments
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
45
Biopsychosocial Psychotherapy
• Biopsychosocial Psychotherapy focuses on biology, connecting body and brain.
• Biological approaches include health psychology, psychiatry, and body therapies.
• Biopsychosocial strategies encourage adaptive health practices that result in biological health, holistic wellness, and mind-body awareness.

Systemic-Constructivist Strategies
• Systemic-Constructivist Psychotherapy focuses on family systems, social groups, and personal narratives.
• Systemic strategies encourage adaptive social practices that allow individual growth and individuation without threatening the stability of the family system.
• Constructivist strategies encourage adaptive personal narratives that construct meaning in a way that matches a person’s experience and supports positive action.

LESSON FOUR
Integrative Treatment Planning
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
63
Customizing Treatment
• “The therapist must strive to create a new therapy for each patient.” (Yalom, 2002, p. 34)
• Integrative treatment planning provides a practical method for customizing psychotherapy to the needs of an individual client.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
64
Where to Focus?
• It is not practical or helpful to focus on several dimensions at once
• You may want to start by focusing on two or three salient dimensions closely related to the problem
• It may be helpful to look at the interaction between a concurrent (TAF) and a contextual (BISC) dimension
• Treatment planning can be used to select a focus that will guide conceptualization and interventions
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
65
Integrative Treatment Planning
1. Conducting a Multidimensional Survey 2. Establishing an Interactive Focus on
2 or 3 Dimensions3. Formulating a Multitheoretical
Conceptualization4. Choosing Interventions from a Catalog of
Key Strategies

66
Case Example: MTP for Depression
• Claire is a Japanese-American female in her 50’s• Experiencing symptoms of depression since the
death of her mother just over a year ago• Oldest of three daughters and never married• Claire lived with her mother and was the primary
caretaker while her mother was dying
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
67
1. Conducting a Multidimensional Survey
• After clients have had a chance to describe their concerns, you can explore concurrent dimensions: (1) thoughts, (2) actions, &
(3) feelings.• As well as contextual dimensions:
(4) biology, (5) interpersonal patterns,
(6) social systems, & (7) cultural contexts.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
68
Claire’s Multidimensional Survey:Concurrent Dimensions
Thoughts: “I can’t go on without my mother.”
Actions: Social isolation from family and friends.
Feelings: Despair, hopelessness, and emptiness.
When asked about feelings of sadness, Claire reported a numb sense of distance from any sadness
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
69
Claire’s Multidimensional Survey:Contextual Dimensions
Biology: Decreased appetite and troubled sleeping.
Interpersonal: Claire had tried to be her mother’s favorite since childhood.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
70
Claire’s Multidimensional Survey:Contextual Dimensions
Social: As a child, Claire competed with her sisters for her mother’s attention. Her father was a good provider but was emotionally distant. Her father died ten years ago. Her sisters are both married with children of their own.
Cultural: As the eldest daughter in a Japanese-American family, Claire felt an obligation to take care of her parents.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
71
2. Establishing an Interactive Focus
• After surveying all seven dimensions, choose two or three which will serve as the initial focus for psychotherapy
• The choice of focal dimensions should be based on collaborative dialogue
• Ask the client to begin to monitor the interaction between two focal dimensions
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
72
Claire’s Interactive Focus
• After exploring all seven dimensions, Dr. P. and Claire decided to focus on the interaction between feelings and interpersonal patterns.
• Feelings – Hopelessness and despair.
• Interpersonal Patterns – Claire’s close relationship with her mother may have kept her from developing other sources of social support.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
73
3. Formulating a Multitheoretical Conceptualization
• For each focal dimension, use a model of conceptualization from a corresponding theory:
(e.g., feelings experiential model,
interpersonal psychodynamic, etc.)• Formulate initial conceptual hypotheses.• Expand your conceptualization with more
information.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
74
Experiential Conceptualizationfor Claire
Emotion Focused Therapy• Claire’s feelings of hopelessness (“I can’t go on”)
may be interfering with a healthy grieving process• Adaptive Primary Emotion: Sadness• Secondary Emotion: Hopelessness• Recommendation: Help Claire explore and
express her sadness in adaptive ways
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
75
Psychodynamic Conceptualizationfor Claire
Core Conflictual Relationship Theme:• Wish: Claire wanted to be her mother’s favorite.• Response of Other: Claire’s mother maintained a
close bond through strict control.• Response of Self: Claire was dedicated to making
her mother happy and gave up her own goals. Claire cherished the close bond but, later, resented her mother’s control over her life.
Copyright 2007 Jeff Brooks-Harris www.multitheoretical.com
76
4. Choosing Interventions from aCatalog of Key Strategies
• Emphasize the use of intervention strategies from theories that address focal dimensions:
(e.g., feelings experiential strategies
interpersonal psychodynamic, etc.)• Interventions from seven theoretical traditions
are described in the Catalog of Key Strategies.

Discussion / Action Plan
• Based on what you learned today, are there ideas you would like to apply to your work?
• What can you do to start thinking and working with clients in a more multitheoretical manner?
• If you provide training or supervision, are there ideas or concepts from MTP you would like to use in training?
