Integral theory is a way of knowing that helps foster the recognition that disparate aspects of realityβsuch as biological constitution, cultural worldβviews, feltβsense of selfhood, and social systemsβare all critically important to any knowledge quest. Integral theory provides an βall quadrants, all levelsβ (K. Wilber, 2006, p. 26) metatheoretical framework that simultaneously honors the important contributions of a broad spectrum of epistemological outlooks while also acknowledging the parochial limits and misconceptions of those perspectives. In other words, integral theory affords a perspective that allows counselors to situate diverse knowledge approaches in such a way that they synergistically complement, rather than contradict, one another.
