Culture and System in Family Therapy by Inga-Britt Krause offers a critical evaluation of family therapy through the lens of anthropology and systemic psychotherapy. Drawing on the MacPherson Report's analysis of institutionalised racism in Britain, Krause highlights the implicit assumptions that perpetuate discriminatory outcomes.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Starting with the MacPherson Report and its pronouncements on racism in Britain, and in particular 'institutionalised racism', Dr Krause focuses in this important book on the practice of family therapy. She draws on her expertise as both anthropologist and systemic family psychotherapist to formulate a cogent critical evaluation of the field.

At the heart of her book, furnished with very useful clinical material, is a concern to identify the necessary conditions for an 'anti-discriminatory, non-ethnocentric and ethical way of working cross-culturally'. In illuminating the way in which underlying and frequently unexamined assumptions serve to perpetuate institutionally discriminatory outcomes, the author outlines a model for the development of a culturally sensitised, questioning, and self-reflexive practice.

Culture and System in Family Therapy will serve as an individual reference-point for all those concerned to avoid and eliminate institutional discrimination.
