Abstract		The author points out that integrative psychotherapy is necessary on different levels. Coming from the focus-oriented psychotherapy, he emphasizes the integrative contribution of Dynamic Psychiatry. Here the important otherwise often denied integration of neurobiological findings and psychological/psychoanalytical considerations of the healthy and ill development of the personality is already achieved through the connection between structure and function and its multidimensionality. As an example for a possible integration the author shows Erikson's table of psychosocial development and how it could be completed with Ammon's concept of egointegration and his interpersonal social energetic principle. The social energetic principle and the conception of group dependency of individual development the author considers as an important integrative factor for focus-oriented psychotherapy; both lead to an attention on creative and healthy foci besides the normally emphasized desasterprone foci. A case study shows that the focus-oriented psychotherapy has to deal with primary as well as with actual group and social constellations. Last but not least according to the author any integration begins on the personal level of the psychotherapist himself.
