Seit Mitte der 90er Jahre gibt es in den USA Bemühungen, in einem systemischen Rahmen unterschiedliche therapeutische Ansätze auf pragmatische Weise zu integrieren.

The tenets of assimilative integration provide a framework for introducing students to multiple systemic theories and techniques while allowing them to maintain a secure base in one main theory.
