'''Primal Integration''' (PI) is a form of [[Personal development|personal growth]] work first formulated by the American [[Bill Swartley]] in the mid-1970s. Unlike many other approaches known as [[psychotherapy]], it puts the emphasis on an individual's self-directed exploration of their own [[Psyche (psychology)|psyche]] assisted by [[facilitator]]s who serve the individual and are responsible for their safety. It uses an educational model and is considered to be part of [[humanistic psychology]].<ref name="IPA">Rowan International Primal Association</ref><ref name="Jones">{{cite book | last1 = Mowbray | first1 = Richard | author-link1 = Brown | last2 = Juliana | title = Innovative Therapy: A Handbook | chapter =Chapter 2 - Primal Integration |editor= David Jones | work = Psychotherapy Handbooks | publisher = Open University Press | isbn = 0-335-19139-8| id = {{ASIN|0335191398|country=uk}} }}</ref> It has a different approach to the better known [[Primal therapy]] formulated by [[Arthur Janov]] and is not related to it except in the broadest sense by its name and by its acceptance of the significance of early experiences.<ref name="Rowan"/>
