- Abstract
Since the 80' a growing interest has developed in finding ways to unify criteria, strategies, techniques and theoretical aspects of different models to satisfy in a more convenient way the increasing demand in the field of mental health. In this context we present the considerations regarding the epistemological and theoretical foundations that would allow the development of a model of integration of metatheoretical nature. Based on this we aims to a theoretical research assuming a critical and constructive attitude by analyzing essential aspects as factors related to the creation and development of scientific theories, the impact on them of implicit theories of the researchers, the adoption about human nature and the adoption of a methodological and epistemological approach, in order to contribute to a genuine synthesis of theories. On these topics it has been found a decisive impact of tacit and subjective aspects that determine the emergence, course and evolution of scientific theories, therefore we propose a redefinition that include, in the case of psychotherapy, the conception of human nature adhering to a epistemological and methodological paradigm of inclusive character such as the complexity paradigm and the complex systems theory, all of which would favour the articulation of knowledge from different theoretical approaches in a metatheoretical level.
