ABSTRACT

In this chapter we start to look at integrative formulations. We illustrate the issues by focusing on one widely used approach by Weerasekera (1996) and applying it to the case of Jack. We then offer reflections on the strengths and weaknesses of this model as a way of considering a range of core issues in integrative formulation. Through this process we attempt to move towards a more complex and dynamic model drawing on reflexivity, the therapeutic relationship and the idea of formulating as a fluid process.
