Integrative Systemic Therapy: Metaframeworks for Problem Solving With Individuals, Couples, and Families

Description:

Integrative Systemic Therapy, now in paperback, offers a set of templates that enable therapists to navigate the course of therapy, as well as a treasure trove of case examples to illustrate how therapists can use the IST perspective to treat a wide variety of challenging problems.

Many psychotherapists today work in agencies where they see individuals, couples, and families from a variety of backgrounds who present with a broad range of problems. Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) is a framework for these professionals, whether they are training in the basics of therapy or are well established in their careers. IST provides early-career therapists with a framework that guides their work and facilitates lifelong learning. It provides established therapists the opportunity to think outside the box of their established practice, using tools that facilitate more comprehensive care.  
 
IST encourages a focused and efficient approach to problem-solving.  It offers the means to continually assess the full complement of factors--psychological, biological, interactional, and cultural--that impact clients and their concerns. IST's blueprint for decision-making in therapy encourages practitioners to draw upon the valuable strategies of various theoretical models and empirically supported treatments.
 
 


Editorial Reviews

Review

Imagine that a sextet of our brightest minds sets out to simultaneously blend and transcend the best ideas in psychotherapy: a systemic perspective, client feedback, clinical integration, outcome measurement, and cultural sensitivity. The result would be this comprehensive and practical framework that details the practice of IST. First-rate, leading-edge psychotherapy! -- John C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton, Scranton, PA; Coeditor, APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology

The authors provide a comprehensive model of psychotherapy grounded in theory and research on the therapeutic alliance and multilevel systems functioning. In contrast to most other approaches, which distort the realities of human existence, IST encompasses the full complexity of interpersonal life and psychotherapy. It's a book worth owning and studying, rather than merely skimming, for professionals at all levels of experience. -- Robert-Jay Green, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, California School of Professional Psychology, San Francisco

This volume, written by experts in couple and family therapy at one of the world's leading training and research institutes, is an essential guide for clinicians and clinical supervisors. It intimately details one of the few evidence-based integrative approaches to treatment in providing both a clear conceptual framework as well as step-by-step clinical guidelines. It is essential for anyone engaging in couple or family therapy. -- Douglas K. Snyder, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Texas A&M University, College Station

Novice and seasoned therapists alike will find value in the IST framework. IST provides a clear yet flexible pathway for therapists to tailor treatment to meet the diverse needs of individuals, couples, and families. Rich case examples and compelling vignettes bring IST to light and help readers understand how to apply the framework in clinical practice. -- Jenna Scott, PhD, LMFT, Faculty, Florida State University; Private Practice, Tallahassee

5.0 out of 5 stars "That's what they've been doing all these years at The Family Institute at Northwestern University."

S.A. · November 17, 2017

Many agree, many, many more will share these sentiments. Step into the Metaframeworks. Let it be a classic.Five gold stars for this singular achievement. A brilliant synthesis, a landmark, a most rooted and transcendent plot point in the ever ongoing distillation of/endeavor for understanding, effective strategy, and efficacious intervention, especially when engaging the matter and mysteries of human being and becoming.In simple fashion, Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) masterly teases out the complexity of approach and conceptualization, while weaving in a living transforming way thru this extraordinary 21st Century, full of turbulence and phase transition.Many know this...ever since Doug Breunlin and Bill Russell told me there would be a book - in addition to the original Part 1 and Part 2 IPCM papers (2011), papers that called me, now a clinician, into the professional sphere of biopsychosocial health and recovery thru the study of/training in/practice of Marriage & Family Therapy - I have patiently waited.Now that IST is here, these sharpened pencils frequently dull into nubs and uncapped highlighters are always going dry because this work, whether we're talking about this masterpiece of a book or our synergist aligning with patients, is everything and even more than hoped for. Anchored in curiosity, humility, and care, IST promotes deeper compassion, the (re)discovery and the further expanding/honing of ability and knowledge, the refining of confidence and uncovering of solutions, all occurring within and between selves, throughout human systems and relationships.

a. · June 19, 2020

Unless you're a purist in some model or another, you may wonder how to make sound clinical decisions. When should you try something else? When do you just need to get better at what you're already doing? How might you hypothesize about client problems and apply interventions across theories and models? Integrative systemic therapy (IST) is not THE ANSWER for everyone and everything (no model is, IMHO) but it provides a comprehensive perspective for being both integrative and systemic working with clients and patients. It does not require to reject the interventions you already know—in fact, most likely they'll still be put to good use as you expand your ability to think outside your regular framework.

IST has proven to be an invaluable tool for problem solving with my clients and clinical supervisees alike. This approach aims to help the field of psychotherapy move from eclecticism to true integration, offering guidance in decision-making regarding when and why a therapist/supervisor might choose to use a specific therapeutic model at any given point in the therapeutic process. Integrative clinicians will appreciate IST not only as practical guidance but also as a form of scaffolding to assist in holding together and operationalizing the myriad therapeutic models that exist (and the many more sure to come) while still providing focused, effective treatment for those seeking problem resolution.

Warren Buffet claims that the book Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham gave him the intellectual framework for investing. It was a life changing moment. IST is the equivalent of that intellectual framework for solving life’s personal challenges. As a clinician this book is invaluable in guiding my thinking and has practical case studies to internalize tools and and get practical about solving human problems. This is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Future of Systemic Therapy

R.E. · January 4, 2018

In a field saturated with various ideas, theories, models, and interventions, many of them quite dated, Integrative Systemic Therapy represents a giant leap into 21st century therapy practice. This text provides a comprehensive, thoughtful framework for how systemically-minded therapists can tailor their approach to any problem and/or context relative to each client/client system they work with. This text, which will surely be deemed a modern classic, offers a great deal to beginning therapists, seasoned veterans, academics, supervisors, and everyone in-between.
