Abstract
This paper presents an integrative framework for combining some central aspects of individual psychodynamics with structural family therapy in a meaningful way. The framework derives from a developmental perspective; it relies on the concept of integrative levels of organization and on the goals of therapy as viewed from a developmental perspective. A case example is also presented that exemplifies a combined approach and demonstrates its utility.Keywords
