Volume 3 ? Theoretical Perspectives in Integrative Strategic Psychotherapy

Volume 3 positions Integrative Strategic Psychotherapy within the broader landscape of contemporary psychotherapeutic modalities. Rather than presenting ISP as an isolated or competing approach, the volume constructs a dialogue between ISP and major schools of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, humanistic-experiential, systemic, and body-based approaches.

Each modality is examined through the lens of the ISP model, highlighting points of convergence, divergence, and potential integration. The volume demonstrates how different therapeutic traditions emphasise distinct levels and axes of the Self, and how ISP offers a unifying framework that can accommodate and synthesise their contributions.

By situating ISP in relation to established therapeutic paradigms, Volume 3 clarifies its epistemological position, its clinical flexibility, and its capacity to integrate diverse methods while maintaining theoretical coherence.
