    Main Results:

    • Each theme (dynamic, behavioral, experiential) exhibits internal coherence across key areas.
    • Significant conceptual and methodological differences exist between the three main themes.
    • A unifying framework across all three major psychotherapy themes is not readily apparent.

    Conclusions:

    • The distinct nature of dynamic, behavioral, and experiential psychotherapies presents challenges for unification.
    • Further research is needed to identify potential commonalities or integrative pathways.
    • Exploring specific dimensions may facilitate a more cohesive understanding of psychotherapy.
