TRAINING TOMORROWS INTEGRATORS IN TODAYS BUSY INTERSECTION - BETTER LOOK 4 WAYS BEFORE CROSSING

As the modern integration movement continues to mature, three factors seem crucial to future training efforts. At the same time that third p arty control (managed care) and a burgeoning interest in spirituality (third party presence) are sending shock waves through the profession of applied psychology, leaders in the integration field are announcing an evolution of focus toward more practical and personal integration.

I present and cri tique the Institute of Clinical Theology, an existing educational mode l based on these four views, and conclude with 12 training goals.
