This third edition reflects the maturing of the integration movement within psychotherapy. We have moved beyond saying that we need to integrate to having established models and solid empirical research. This edition can inspire us to move even further to determine the underlying mechanisms of change across approaches. Bravo!

What are therapists actually doing and how does therapy work? Norcross and Goldfried have advanced the field of integrative psychotherapy to new heights and this excellent book brings it all together. As we move toward recognizing the importance of common processes and trans-theoretical approaches, this comprehensive volume will prove to be an excellent guide to practice and research. We should keep in mind that clients are less interested in brands than in what is going to help them. This superb volume will help clinicians and researchers accomplish this important task.

This is an impressive volume and valuable collection of contemporary views...I recommend it highly. A commendable job at representing the excitement and freedom associated with an active, respectful, and fundamentally hopeful exploration of conceptual and practical diversities.

If you are already familiar with the ideas of integration, this important volume will keep you abreast of current developments in integration. If not, it will stimulate and challenge you to think more integratively...If you are interested in current developments and future directions in psychotherapy, I would put this on a must read list.
