“…MFT models have been developed and implemented across the globe (Epstein et al , ; Piercy et al , ; Roberts et al , ), and there is a small literature on the development and status of family therapy in East Asia, specifically Hong Kong (Wong and Ma, ), Taiwan (Chao, ; Chao and Huang, ), China (Miller and Fang, ; Sim and Hu, ), Japan (Narabayashi, ) and South Korea (Lee et al , ). Many of these papers, however, were written a few years ago, and the field of MFT has evolved significantly in this region of the world, even in this short space of time.…”

“…This phenomenon corresponds with a cross‐national study of family therapy training. Piercy et al () found that compared to US samples, the main source of information about family therapy for non‐US countries included books and trainers from outside their country, whereas the US samples reported North American journals, workshops and university courses as their main sources for obtaining information about family therapy.…”

“…There are various MFT associations in East Asia, and it is important to remember that the term ‘marriage and family therapy’ or ‘family therapist’ is not used consistently in all countries and regions, especially those where licensure and accreditation standards have not yet been developed. In most of these East Asian countries and regions, MFT can be provided by any mental health professional who acknowledges the importance of recognising systemic and family influences on an individual’s wellbeing (Piercy et al , ; Wong and Ma, ).…”

“…Professionals in these countries and regions are working to understand individuals’ broader contextual perspectives, and are inviting couples and families to engage in treatment. Even though different political environments and attitudes toward mental health shaped the development of MFT differently in countries around the world (Piercy et al , ), family therapy ‘is very much thriving internationally and across the spectrum of institutions’ (Lebow, , p. 281).…”

The discipline of marriage and family therapy (MFT) has been established around the world. Inspired by theories and models developed in Western countries, professionals in East Asian countries over the last two decades have been dedicated to introducing the concepts of MFT to local mental health professionals. This paper presents an overview of the cultural background of East Asian cultures, a summary of MFT development in East Asia, and a discussion of key challenges to advancing MFT in East Asia. We provide recommendations to overcome these obstacles, including bridging the gap between MFTs in the West and East Asia, developing country-specific MFT development plans, establishing accreditation and licensing regulation, increasing the public awareness of MFT, increasing collaboration among training institutes and the number of qualified MFT trainers and training locations, and developing culturally attuned MFT training and practices. Practitioner points • Direct application of Western approaches to the East Asian context can be detrimental if therapists do not carefully examine the cultural differences and adapt accordingly • A critical step in developing MFT in East Asia is to develop country/ region-specific plans including the recognition of the history, values, and distinctive features of Asian families Keywords: culturally attuned marriage and family therapy practices; development of marriage and family therapy; East Asia; marriage and family therapy

“…Som sådana förenande grundprinciper framhåller Lebow betydelsen av terapeutiska allianser med patienten, ett behandlingsfokus på relationella faktorer samt tillämpning av metoder som det finns empiriskt stöd för (Lebow, 2017). Offentligt organiserade utbildningar på fältet tycks ha haft en avgörande betydelse för den professionella samsynen om vad som är god verksamhet (Piercy m.fl., 2014;Montgomery m.fl., 2018). De tidigare farhågorna om att professionsreglering och standardisering kan inverka negativt på den behandling som erbjuds kvarstår emellertid.…”

This dissertation fills part of the existing knowledge gap regarding the relationship between the legal obligation to document medical care and treatment on the one hand, and the professional practice, conditions and identities of professionals on the other. Three basic questions serve as points of departure: what are the origins of the obligation to document medical care and treatment? How is the relationship between the patient and the professions affected by the obligation? How does the obligation affect professional identities? The dissertation consists of five sub-projects performed with a combined legal and social constructivist approach. Two relate to the historical emergence of an obligation for physicians and other professions to document medical care and treatment in Swedish healthcare. One concerns how standardized forms of documentation affect the patient's legal position and two are built upon the fact that the legal obligation for licensed psychotherapists within municipal family counselling to document their interventions has lapsed, even though the legislation clearly prescribes such an obligation. The results suggest that the form of governance known as New Public Management has been preceded by regulations regarding the obligation of documentation, which are clearly intended to meet financial and organizational goals. This may have contributed to the fact that Sweden is one of the countries where New Public Management has influenced the public administration the most. The thesis concludes that the effects of the regulations regarding of the obligation to document medical care and treatment, and the forms of implementation of the obligation, are of crucial importance for a patient's legal position. Further research is needed in order to highlight and better understand the processes that are at play when the regulations are enforced and implemented amongst health care professionals.
