A systematic framework for integrating psychological evaluations and interventions

A systematic framework for an integrative approach to psychological ev eval uations and interventions is proposed based on the executive system model o f intelligence, the transactional processes of stress and coping, and the f ield properties of the personal domain. The executive system of intelligenc e is a comprehensive model that helps to Explain the active components of v arious types of psychotherapies. We are proposing that psychotherapies faci litate clients' uses of their executive functions to develop coping strateg ies in their transactions with the environment and the events in their life space. A clinical case is presented to illustrate our systematic approach to psychological evaluation and intervention.
