Family therapy and the Igbo family system.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Theories and treatment modalities may differ in the degree to which they are applicable to different groups. This paper examines the applicability of Bowen's family therapy concepts to a culturally different family system, the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria. The analyses point to the importance of understanding client value orientations in planning appropriate care.
