“…In the context of conversations across ideological differences, the consequence of communication lacking nuance is objectification. García (2015) captured the essence of this distinction in his construct of the "I/It" vs the "I/Thou" nature of relationships. The "I/It" designation cannot be said to be a real relationship because it objectifies one party.…”

As college student educators, we notice a pattern of difficulty in our students’ ability to engage meaningfully across ideological differences. In this work, we posit the social media mindset’s penchant for reductive framing and outgroup shaming as a potential diagnosis of the problem. We explore how these tendencies show up in the classroom; we present alternative frameworks for stimulating better conversations across differences. These frameworks include promoting democratic civility (as opposed to niceness), understanding ourselves as works in progress (as opposed to engaging call-out and cancel culture), and creating the conditions for the call-in (as opposed to “ducking diversity”).

“…Moreover, integration may prevent therapists from developing “theory-induced blindness,” or an overreliance on one particular theory, and dissipate novice therapists’ fears of using the “wrong” model or intervention (Garcia, 2015). Integration allows therapists to see the similarities and common factors, rather than merely the differences, between available theoretical approaches (D’Aniello, 2015; Nielson, 2017).…”

“…Despite the lauded benefits of integrative theory, potential disadvantages and dangers exist in utilizing an integrative approach. Much of the research regarding the cons of integrative theory focus on the additional demands placed on therapists, the current lack of formal therapist training in integration, and the dearth of research on integrative theory with diverse populations (Briggs et al, 2015; D’Aniello, 2015; Garcia, 2015; Pinsof et al, 2011; Roddy et al, 2016). A thorough understanding of the shortcomings of integrative theory may help therapists make ethical decisions and identify areas for future research.…”

“…The most outwardly apparent drawback of integrative theory is that more theoretical options means the therapist needs a more extensive base of knowledge in various theoretical models (Garcia, 2015; Pinsof et al, 2011). The need for therapist competence in a range of theories and techniques may be extremely demanding or overwhelming for therapists, leading to potential burn out and deleterious consequences for therapists and clients alike (Garcia, 2015; Pinsof et al, 2017). As counselors are ethically required to practice only within the boundaries of their competence, the possibility exists that ethical violations will occur among inexperienced, undertrained, or beleaguered integrative therapists (American Counseling Association, 2014).…”

The use of integrative models in family, marriage, and individual counseling continues to show promising therapeutic results. The basic concept of theoretical integration involves a purposeful combination of principles, practices, and common factors from different theories. This form of therapy has been employed for the past 50 years and has provided therapists with numerous techniques which have shown to be effective for a variety of clinical issues. The present article provides clarity on what integrative therapy is, its history, and coverage on its advantages and disadvantages. In addition, a literature review of existing integrative models and contemporary family models is provided. The article further covers Dr. Jay Lebow’s integrative systemic therapy, its importance, modes of operation, barriers, and its implication and future in marriage and family counseling.

Using Narratives and Storytelling to Promote Cultural Diversity on College Campuses

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Many narratives are built around communication patterns established early in life. Upon reaching college age, most students are well-versed in the intricate dynamics of relational interaction. Yet depending on upbringing, racial viewpoints, politics, etc., cultural diversity may add a complex and challenging layer to academic discourse. Martin Buber proposed that human beings use a unique form of dialogue, the “I Thou” encounter, to communicate and fully engage with others. The current chapter utilizes this dialogic exchange to enhance meaningful interactions about diversity in university settings. Initial encounters, classroom engagement, and community building are offered as venues for development in this area.
