title: A reflection on the blending of person-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy.
abstract: This article provides a commentary on the article by Cepeda and Davenport (2006; see record 2006-05485-001) that proposes an integration of solution-focused and person-centered therapy. The commonalities of each approach are highlighted as well as the differences. The primary argument of the article is that the process orientation of person-centered therapy may conflict with the goals of solution-focused therapy. Markers for identifying when each approach might be appropriate are identified and the implications for the therapeutic alliance of combining the two approaches are discussed.
