Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Skillful integration involves having a grounded understanding of a set of philosophical assumptions and incorporating practices from other models in a way that is consistent with those assumptions. It is not about simply choosing interventions that feel good without considering the underlying theory and rationale for the choice. Option A is too limiting in its focus on diagnosis and diagnostic manuals, while option B suggests a shotgun approach to integration that may not be consistent with any one theory or approach. Option D is not an example of skillful integration at all.
