title: Case report: smuggling family therapy through.
abstract: Therapists with a family systems orientation are, on occasion, called upon to work in settings where political constraint, cultural patterns or the unchangeable expectations of the clinical population make it impossible to identify the treatment as being directed at the family. Under these circumstances, family therapy concepts and techniques may be employed by smuggling them in under another label. This article describes a setting in which such a strategy was necessary.
