“…In recent years integrative practice has been conceptualised as consisting of five primary methods of integration: common factors, technical eclecticism, theoretical integration, assimilative integration, and unification (Breunlin et al., 2011; Devlin & Calley, 2007; Devlin et al., 2019; Lebow, 2019; Nichols & Davis, 2017). •The common factors approach focuses on the main components of effective psychotherapy, aiming to promote and enhance the presence of these factors (Lebow, 2019).…”

“…Interestingly, the journey towards integrative practice has not always been smooth, with a historical divide existing between unilateral approaches and integrative approaches favouring common factors found across all models (Devlin et al., 2019). To narrow the divide a moderate view of common factors was suggested by Sprenkle and Blow (2004) who proposed that true therapeutic substance is found in similarities and not differences between theories (D'Aniello, 2015) and that the models are vehicles through which the common factors are activated (Sprenkle & Blow, 2004).…”

“…(2014) who combined way of being, therapeutic relationship, and skills and techniques into a therapeutic pyramid, and combine this meta‐model with Devlin et al. 's (2019) ideas on assimilative integration and unification. The aspect of assimilation considered was theoretical training in a single model, for us systemic family therapy, with value‐added techniques from other orientations, for example, neuroscience, individual, and dyadic psychotherapies from various traditions.…”

“…This is an important idea because it enables avoidance of prejudices that can occur between therapists about their different approaches (Hawkins & Ryde, 2020), and puts the person first before theory, knowledge, or a technology of therapy. In this way of thinking each client and family system is seen as unique, multifaceted, and requires its own unique configuration of theory and practice (Hawkins & Ryde, 2020; Hennik & Hilleweaere in Devlin et al., 2019).…”

“…Time, training contexts, exposure to other practitioners and fields of practice, and our own client work have resulted in the development of our model for integrative practice. The QIFT model is now used in teaching at the Queensland Institute of Family Therapy to address how novice therapists can be taught to ethically and effectively practice integrative psychotherapy (Devlin et al., 2019) as well as criticism in the field concerning a lack of training in integrative practice and acknowledgment of its risks (see Hawkins & Ryde, 2020).…”

Integrative psychotherapeutic practice is the process of creating a broad, overarching framework as a guide to selecting and combining concepts and interventions. Attracting attention over the past 20 years, it has been identified as the dominant trend in family therapy moving into the 21st century. It is no surprise that clinicians necessarily combine several theories, techniques, and factors in their work given the multidimensional nature of work with clients and families. Integrative practice has evolved over time with different models and frameworks proposed, and yet in the field, there are concerns that it is not widely taught despite many identifying as eclectic or integrative. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it reviews the topic of integrative practice, its history, evolution, strengths and pitfalls, and models. Secondly, a systemic meta-framework is proposed as a guide to clinical practice and teaching. The review found a move from eclecticism to integrative practice, with the evolution of integration leading to five primary methods. The proposed QIFT Systemic Meta-Framework for Integrative Practice both fits within and extends these methods, with the following key elements: way of being, therapeutic alliance with a focus on neurobiology, systemic assessment and formulation, and decision-making highlighting theory of change.

The challenges of premarital counseling arise due to early marriage, divorce, marriage due to prior pregnancy, or various partner problems. As educators for students and prospective couples, counselors can conduct premarital counseling based on needs. The premarital counseling model has yet to be formed for the profession's development, so this study aims to analyze the needs of premarital counseling. The research method type is quantitative descriptive, with 21 students as subjects and a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was an open questionnaire analyzed using quantitative description through percentages. The results of the study found five basic and salient needs for premarital counseling regarding the conditions for pillars of marriage to be valid, knowledge to form a happy family, setting goals for marriage, selecting criteria for a good husband/wife candidate in religion, and understanding the wisdom behind the prohibition to marry individuals who different faiths. Premarital counselors, as educators who are Islamic, competent, professional, and have integrity, use the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah in answering life's problems with a positive counseling mindset so that they know the relationship with God, application in life, awareness, and meaningful self-quality. The five needs of premarital counseling with an Islamic approach are the basis for developing a premarital counseling model with an Islamic system to be implemented in group and individual counseling. The design of Islamic premarital counseling can be designed for the prevention of early marriages and unwanted cases.

Semi-structured interviews were utilised to collect data. Purposive sampling was utilised to select eight psychiatric nurses to participate in the study. Data were analysed using Tesch’s thematic method of coding.Results: The analysis of data revealed the following themes: With the closure of the care centres participants experienced (1) shock, dismay and life interruption; (2) trauma related to the disintegration, of psychiatric patients’ lives, their own families and work-life and (3) sense of resilience.Conclusion: From the findings, it is clear that the psychiatric nurses needed support as evidenced by the challenges they experienced.
