Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy: toward an integrative model
TB Karasu
The author reviews historical trends, hypotheses, and problems in the
application of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy and uses research findings
to develop an integrative model. He portrays a chronology of models over
three decades; an "additive" relationship represents the decade of 1970 to
1980. He presents factors that must be considered in determining the
effects of pharmacotherapy plus psychotherapy and recommends refinement of
these variables in future research.
