- Description
- These essays explore the ways that client's lives and family therapy itself are constrained by forces of racial, cultural, sexual and class-based inequality. The authors situate family therapy within its current cultural and sociopolitical context, describe the biases that underlie prevailing conceptions of family health and pathology: influence the process and goals of therapy: impede therapists' vision both of their clients and themselves. Covered topics are: the effects of discrimination on family relationships: the clinical implications of the therapist's cultural background: approaches to understanding white privilege: the extended family in African American and immigrant cultures: therapy with intercultural, immigrant, gay and lesbian families: connections between personal and societal transformation.
