Issues of Diversity
For this discussion, research a professional journal article or articles from contemporary family therapy journals (For example, Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, Family Process, Journal of Feminist Family Therapy, and Journal of Systemic Therapies) that address either feminism or multiculturalism within the context of a reported marriage and family therapy intervention. Summarize and critique the article or articles, noting the main points. With what do you agree and disagree? Discuss any cultural bias you noted on the part of the therapist or ways in which the therapist appeared to have avoided bias. How can an awareness of these ideas and issues be beneficial to your clinical work with couples, families, and clients?
