This article explores the concept of Transtheoreticism in psychotherapy, highlighting its aim to transcend specific theoretical orientations by integrating diverse perspectives. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is discussed as a framework for understanding behavior change through distinct stages. The article emphasizes the importance of dialectical thinking in psychotherapy, where dynamic interactions between opposing elements create a holistic understanding.
