THEORY
Integration, values and mental health
Integration is commonly considered to be essential to the
healthy personality. It has been found in the definition of many
personality psychologists and plays a central role in health.
Over a long period of time integration has been identified as
having the following characteristics: (a) The presence of a
unifying life theme, (b) an overriding goal, giving meaning to
all of life, and (c) values that give direction to a goal
(Csikszentmihalyi, 2009, Levy, 1990, Lecky, 2010).
Allport (1968) is far and away the expert in the field of
meaning and values in psychology. He identifies different life
themes that can give meaning to life. The healthy person,
according to Allport, is the one who can give meaning to his life
through choosing one of these life themes. Everyone eventually
chooses a life theme that is meaningful to them. R. May
(personal communication, August 30, 1983) said that the
struggle between meaningfulness and a lack of meaning
represented the human being's single most difficult challenge.
METHODOLOGY
The therapeutic team
A therapeutic team was employed at each clinical site that had a
psychologist, social worker, and medical specialist. The site
was contacted to obtain permission to carry out the research.
There were two treatment groups, criminals and non-criminals.
All participants have an intake interview and then are placed in
their therapy groups. The results of a demographic
questionnaire show that 75% of the participants were White,
20% were African Americans and five percent were Asian.
American. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
(MMPI) was administered to all participants.
