Theoretical Integration

Theoretical integration is when experts combine ideas from different psychological theories to create a more comprehensive understanding of human behavior. Instead of sticking to one single approach, they blend concepts to explain how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. This integration helps develop better treatments, tools, or insights because it considers multiple angles and perspectives, leading to a more holistic picture. It’s like combining different pieces of a puzzle to see the full image—more complete and useful than any single piece alone.
