ABSTRACT
A therapist who wants to tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of specific families must be aware of all the variables that add to the complexity of family life. Given the steadily increasing diversity of the families we serve, culture is clearly among the most important of these variables. In fact, “the failure to see cultural and contextual issues actually denies and oppresses those whom we seek to help” (Ivey & Ivey, 2001, p. 221).
