Coherence therapy

Coherence therapy is a system of psychotherapy based in the theory that symptoms of mood, thought and behavior are produced coherently according to the person's current mental models of reality, most of which are implicit and unconscious.[1] It was founded by Bruce Ecker and Laurel Hulley in the 1990s.[2] It has been considered among the most well respected postmodern/constructivist therapies.[3]
