title: Therapist perceptions of ethnicity issues in family therapy: a qualitative inquiry.
abstract: A group of 29 leading family therapists presenting at a regional marriage and family therapy conference were interviewed about ethnicity issues in family therapy. Questions and discussion focused on ethnicity in the family therapy process, ethnicity issues for the family therapist, ethnicity issues for the client family, therapeutic strategies when ethnicity is an issue, and recommendations for ethnicity training and supervision of future family therapists. Qualitative methods were used to analyze the transcripts of the recorded interviews to identify themes emerging from the interviews. Results reflect multiple perspectives and approaches in the field of family therapy.
