A comment on psychotherapy integration in the treatment of children

Interest in psychotherapy integration, which has developed into an ongoing movement in the past decade or two, now appears to be capturing the interest among therapists and researchers in the clinical child area. The articles in this section deal specifically with the integration of basic research on language and cognition into the clinical arena, and the complementary use of concepts and interventions from different schools of thought. In commenting on these contributions, I have underscored the importance of using a broader historical and conceptual perspective, so that we can advance, rather than rediscover, what we already know.
