title: The process of assimilative psychodynamic integration.
abstract: Assimilative psychotherapy integration is described and then characterized by a series of common processes: (1) multiple selves; (2) rupture repair; (3) corrective emotional experience; and (4) homework. These processes each have some degree of research support, are related to each other because of their contribution to the therapeutic relationship, and contribute to evidence-based practice.
