ABSTRACT
This chapter designs primarily for the benefit of graduates of COAMFTE-accredited family therapy programs, in the United States. But just because someone graduates from one of these programs, does not mean he or she will necessarily stay in the United States. These degrees are well regarded internationally, and many graduates have attained success in other countries. We have comments from graduates in Jamaica, Iceland, Peru, and Taiwan. Karen has worked both in her native Iceland and in the United States since her graduation from a United States COAMFTE-accredited master's program. While in Iceland, he worked with a nonprofit organization called Stigamot. Pei Fen obtained her master's degree in family therapy from the University of Oregon. She then returned to Taiwan to work as a guidance counselor, thus fulfilling her job contract with the Taiwanese government. People in different cultures perceive psychotherapy differently.
