Training issues in psychotherapy integration: A commentary.

This article is a commentary on A. J. Consoli and C. M. Jester's (see record 2006-01691-002) and J. Gold's (see record 2006-01691-003) eloquent and stimulating reflections on training in psychotherapy integration. Three issues are addressed: (a) the timing of an integrative perspective in training, (b) the potential merits of "hero worshiping" at an early phase of training, and (c) some misconceptions about training in "pure-form" psychotherapy.
