VASCO, António Branco. Fundamentals for an integrative model of "Pradigmatic Complementary". Psicologia [online]. 2001, vol.15, n.2, pp.219-226. ISSN 0874-2049.

The concept of "pomd igma t ic complemcnla rity " is presented. this concept implies the sequential or complementary use of assessment intrtmniiints, concepts and interventions stem mg from different theoretical orientations (and "world-views"). Similarities between processes of personal and scientific development are drawn, stressing how they seem to point to an integrative logic. Some research data regarding psychotherapists are also presented to illustrate how the development of their ntetatheoretical believes and clinical paractice seems to shows a spontaneous pattern of “paradigmatic complementarity". The way different world-views influence the conceptualizations and causal atri hut ions of different theoretical orientations is also analysed, stressing the potencial contributions of all of them, used in a complementary way, to capture the complexities of the therapeutic process.

Palabras clave : Visões do mundo; integração; complementaridade paradigmática.
