PsycCRITIQUESa wonderful addition to the integral field I hope that we will see more books from these authors, both of whom are the next generation of integral leaders. William Harryman, Integral Options CafThis is the most comprehensive book on Integral Psychotherapy to date. Wonderfully balanced between critical thinking and practical instruction, and interspersed with good doses of humor, it simultaneously serves as both an introduction to those new to this complex yet parsimonious system while also critically delving into its many intricacies for those who are already familiar with Integral Theory. Highly recommended. Andre Marquis, author of The Integral Intake: A Guide to Comprehensive Idiographic Assessment in Integral Psychotherapy
