title: [Research on the integration of psychotherapies].
abstract: The author analyses metanalytic studies published after 2000, dealing with the common factors of psychotherapeutic interventions. Most studies conclude that there are common factors responsible for the most part of therapeutic effectiveness of the different psychotherapeutic methods. The significance of the specific techniques of the different methods, on the other hand, seems to be secondary, playing role only in the advanced phase of the therapeutic process. The integration of psychotherapies comes into the limelight on the basis of research of common factors. The integration view makes the appearance of new concepts possible, which are presented in short. A further synthesis of higher order concerning the philosophy of psychotherapies becomes possible as well.
