Key Concepts

Eclectic Approach

An eclectic approach refers to the integration of techniques and theories from multiple psychological perspectives. Instead of following a single, rigid framework, practitioners draw from a variety of models and methods, allowing them to tailor their treatment to the unique needs and circumstances of each client.
