Is Imago Therapy Culturally Relevant? Case Studies With African-American Couples

This chapter demonstrates the application of Imago therapy in working with African-American couples. We utilize Hendrix's (1988) concept of the “journeys of the self to provide an empathic overview of the unique conflicts, courage, and spirituality of African Americans as they integrate psychological services into their culture. We are convinced that the phenomenal growth we have seen in these couples would not have been possible without the use of Imago therapeutic tools.
