Do you agree that Integrated is the most efficacious? What are the potential benefits and limitations of this approach in contrast to the other two? Post a clear and succinct 300-500 word response that demonstrates integration of, and critical thinking regarding, the information presented.

In case of the method of Sequential Treatment, there is an order followed while treating disorders of patients one after the other. Therefore, there has to be complete healing of one order to move to the next order in this method. The main aim of the Sequential Treatment method is to ensure complete healing of all disorders by trying to heal one disorder first. In case of the Parallel Treatment method, there can be more than one disorder treated parallel to each other without facing issues in providing treatment for all the chosen disorders. Consistency is important.
