CARO GABALDA, Isabel; ALLEPUZ FAUS, Anna; ROJO SERRANO, Irene    YERA SABATER, Ainara. The Study of the Process of Change Following the Assimilation Model: A Theoretical and Methodological Introduction. []. , 22, 3, pp.223-235. ISSN 2174-0550.

The main aim of this paper is the theoretical and methodological description of the assimilation model. The assimilation model has been developed as an integrative process research model that allows us to describe the process of change in any therapeutic approach. This paper describes the model and how should be its procedure. Besides, the paper defines its main concepts, such as assimilation, dominant and nondominant voices, meaning bridge and describes The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). Some of the main results are shown, such as the one that relates change with assimilation and no assimilation and no change. Also, it is described the characteristic sawtoothed pattern of assimilation found in cognitive therapies.
