Description
Summary:Clinical integrative practitioners are increasingly interested in how one incorporates faith into the therapy setting. Rather than a clinical model of integration, this article presents the clinical integrative moment as an emergent property of Thirdness. The clinical integrative moment emerges from Thirdness when clinicians maintain a therapeutic sensibility defined by mutual recognition. When mutual recognition is lost, Thirdness collapses into complementarity hallmarked by doer-and-done-to dynamics in which therapy derails into enactments, stalemates, and misattunements. The concept of the Third is presented, followed by clinical integrative practice (CIP) approaches that utilize the concept. Finally, a case illustrates the concepts of complementarity and mutual recognition in which the integrative Third emerges.
