Resumen

The integrative psychotherapy theory of motivation is composed of three parts: stimulus, structure, and relationship. This theory of motivation determines which theories of personality can be integrated and which are conceptually inconsistent and do not integrate into a unified, comprehensive theory of human functioning. When theories of motivation and personality have an internal validity and consistency, they work together as a conceptual organization for a unified theory of therapeutic method.
