what to do, what to do?

Lately I have been thinking that a staged approach to change might be the way to in almost all areas. The first stage would involve a behavioral emphasis and the second stage would involve an existential approach. The idea would be that if the patient had some pressing problem with a set of behaviors that she wanted changed, then that would be addressed immediately with a behavioral approach. The guiding theory underlying all of this would be that eventually the pursuit of meaning would be addressed in session, and extensively.
