(2025) offers an important framework for strengthening perinatal mental health across the Asia–Pacific region but does not sufficiently address the role of cultural wisdom and ritualized social support in maternal wellbeing. Evidence from Indonesia suggests that cultural pregnancy rituals and strong family or community support can protect against antenatal anxiety and depression, even though direct empirical studies on ritual-specific outcomes remain limited. In Indonesia, longstanding practices such as <em>mitoni, ba bu, and topung tawar</em> function as informal, community-driven psychosocial interventions that reinforce maternal identity, collective empathy, and emotional safety. Integrating these culturally embedded supports into regional perinatal mental health frameworks could enhance cultural relevance, strengthen community participation, and bridge gaps between formal healthcare and indigenous caregiving systems. A culturally grounded approach, guided by voluntariness and safety considerations, may contribute to more holistic and equitable maternal mental health strategies in the region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 104821"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145881741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Between empathy and algorithms: Navigating interpersonal dynamics in AI-augmented mental health care- Discursive review","authors":"George V. JOY ,&nbsp;Febu Elizabeth JOY,&nbsp;Abdulqadir J. NASHWAN","doi":"10.1016/j.ajp.2025.104816","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.ajp.2025.104816","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into mental health practice presents both unprecedented opportunities and substantial challenges for contemporary care systems. This discursive review critically examines how AI-enabled tools intersect with the interpersonal foundations of psychotherapy, with particular attention to empathy, therapeutic alliance, and relational dynamics. Drawing on socio-technical theory, psychotherapeutic research, and emerging literature in affective computing and neurotechnology, the review develops a conceptual framework positioning AI as an augmentative, not substitutive partner in mental health care. While AI demonstrates clear strengths in enhancing accessibility, reducing administrative burden, supporting structured interventions, and improving monitoring through data-driven insights, these advantages are counterbalanced by significant concerns. Limitations in genuine empathic capacity, risks to transference and therapeutic authenticity, potential erosion of clinician skills, and ethical tensions related to privacy, accountability, algorithmic bias, and emotional deception underscore the complexity of integrating AI into relationally grounded practices. Differential impacts across therapeutic modalities and clinical conditions reveal that structured, skills-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral approaches benefit most from AI augmentation, whereas humanistic and psychodynamic therapies rooted in emotional presence and intersubjective meaning-making remain less amenable to technological simulation. The review further highlights the importance of hybrid care models in which human clinicians guide relational processes while AI supports precision, continuity, and scalability. Ethical implementation requires robust frameworks emphasizing transparency, informed consent, equitable access, data protection, and sustained human oversight. Emerging neurotechnologies introduce additional considerations regarding autonomy, identity, and the need for evolving “neurorights.” Overall, this review argues that the future of mental health care depends on harmonizing technological innovation with human compassion. Effective, ethical, and relationally sensitive integration of AI must preserve the therapeutic alliance at its core, ensuring that technology enhances rather than replaces the deep human processes essential to psychological healing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 104816"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145910299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
