“…Mental health “check‐ups” by marriage and family therapists after surgery could be implemented for surgical patients and their partners. In addition, current medical practitioners could incorporate systemic, biopsychosocial, structural, and Family FIRO models of health into their treatment modalities (Boyd, Watters, Canfield, & Nativ, ; Doherty & Harkaway, ; Doherty, McDaniel, & Hepworth, ; Harkaway, ).…”

This study explores the experiences of 20 men who have had bariatric surgery, focusing on their couple or marital relationships. The researcher concentrates on men's perspectives regarding relationship satisfaction, sexual intimacy, and social support after surgical intervention. Phenomenology and family systems theory were used to guide the study from which emerged three themes: (a) Unintended consequences (unpredicted problems occurring within intimate relationships); (b) Intimacy as bittersweet (experiencing increasing levels of intimacy, while still desiring more); and (c) Inconsistent social support (experiencing instances where social support is provided, while simultaneously experiencing other areas where social support is not provided). The study includes a rich description of the data, critical analysis, and discussion of clinical implications for therapists and other healthcare professionals.

“…Because there is no particular standardised model for collaboration among healthcare teams, there are significant differences in the way in which practitioners engage in and talk about the process. Bio-psychosocial and spiritual perspective gives different healthcare professionals an opportunity to observe various interventions within the related context by providing common ground to start their discussion regarding the patient's care (Boyd et al 2011). One of the major factors influencing a context is religious beliefs and values.…”

Collaboration involves direct and open communication and respect for different perspectives. In particular, religious literature has many references to collaboration. This study is a report of knowledge synthesis based on qualitative systematic review by content analysis. The study surveys the concept of collaboration from the Islamic point of view and intends to answer the question, 'Does the Quran deal with the use of collaboration in human activities?' This study was conducted using electronic documents from websites related to Islamic and Quran sciences, such as Howzah.net, Nashriat.ir, Tebyan.net and Google Scholar from 1950 until 2013 by focusing on the keywords, collaboration and Islam, and then retrieving the Islamic document (Quran and Hadith). The language in which the search was conducted was English and Persian. Nearly, 28 articles and 72 books related to this topic were found and after applying the search criteria, only 13% of the references were found to be applicable. In the Quran, collaboration is equivalent to Taavon, and Muslims are requested to collaborate in their affairs and never collaborate with each other for illegal affairs. Islam asserts that everyone requires social relationship in their life. God has enacted mutual rights for people and meeting these requirements is only possible through collaboration and respecting mutual rights.

“…The purposes of this study were to explore the amount of training and experience MedFTs receive in their graduate programs and determine common practice patterns of MedFTs. Previous literature (e.g., Boyd et al, 2011;Campbell, 2003;Marlowe, Hodgson, Lamson, White, & Irons, 2012) has explored how MedFTs collaborating with other providers can improve health outcomes of patients and families. This study fills a critical gap in gathering practice-and training-related Note: a Participants reported their top three most prevalent issues treated in practice.…”

“…Recently, MedFTs have had an increasing role in both their scope of practice with patients and a larger presence in healthcare settings and systems. Providers now have greater opportunities to facilitate collaboration with medical professionals and interdisciplinary teams to provide care to patients and families (Boyd, Watters, Candfield, & Nativ, ; Kessler & Stafford, ; McDaniel et al, ). The mission of therapists who work in primary care is to provide services for people living with all diseases and conditions, including the psychosocial ones.…”

Medical family therapy (MedFT) has gained momentum as a framework in healthcare for individuals and families. However, little is known about what background training and clinical experiences Medical Family Therapists (MedFTs) have in everyday practice. This study investigated the clinical training of MedFTs and their practices in a variety of care settings. A survey was completed by 80 participants who use a MedFT framework in practice, with descriptive data on curriculum, clinical training, and treatment characteristics. Results reflect that many MedFTs lack formal coursework in key content areas of their graduate training and work primarily with psychological and relational concerns. Future research is needed to explore how MedFTs practice around specific mental health and chronic health conditions.
