Experiential Integrative Process (EIP) is a method created by Marco Mendes and his colleagues. The method was created to overcome psychotherapists difficulties on working with empathy. Every therapist believe that is empathic but it is not that simple. The domain of solution-focused approaches like CBT, DBT and others, created a focus on changing the client rather than accepting. Thus, Tthe goal of the method is to introduze principles of Experiential Psychotherapies, including humanistic approach, attachment theory and Emotion Focused Therapy, in an experiential way.
