Paradigma Konseling Dan Psikoterapi:Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis Atas Landasan Teoretis,Pendekatan, Dan Teknik Intervensi

Abstract

Counseling and psychotherapy have developed into disciplines characterized by extraordinary paradigmatic diversity, yet comprehensive systematic reviews integrating recent theoretical developments across paradigms particularly from non-Western perspectives remain limited. Objective: This article aims to map and classify major counseling and psychotherapy paradigms, synthesize empirical evidence on therapeutic effectiveness and change mechanisms, and analyze the applicability of Western-developed frameworks in Indonesian and Southeast Asian contexts. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines was conducted through structured searches across four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar (January 2026). Boolean keyword strings combined terms for psychotherapy paradigms, therapeutic alliance, evidence-based practice, and multicultural competence. From 4,847 initial records, 49 articles met inclusion criteria following deduplication, independent screening (Cohen's κ = 0.84), and JBI Critical Appraisal (threshold ≥ 50%). Results: Three principal findings emerged: (1) eight major paradigms were identified and classified psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, humanistic-existential, cognitive-behavioral, contextual-behavioral, systemic-family, integrative/eclectic, multicultural-ecological, and neurobiological; (2) common therapeutic factors, particularly therapeutic alliance (r = 0.28–0.30), account for greater outcome variance than specific techniques; and (3) none of the 49 included studies originated from Indonesia, and only four from Asia, confirming a critical research gap. Conclusion: No single paradigm demonstrated universal superiority. The novelty of this review lies in explicitly connecting the WEIRD critique to Indonesian counseling education and proposing a culturally-adapted integrative framework as a priority for future empirical development in the region.
