abstract="Terror Management Theory (TMT) endorses that individuals manage fears of mortality by establishing a coherent cultural worldview and earning self-esteem by meeting cultural worldview standards. Global Family Therapy (GFT) examines these constructs within family and social systems. Aims of GFT include the development of a culturally-fluid worldview that earns self-esteem across various resources. Barriers to this process include GFT's concepts of systemic cultural worldview discrepancies, systemic disproportions of resources for self-esteem, and symbolic immortality's multigenerational process. By emphasizing the role of cultural worldviews, GFT expands the concept of culture from being a component of family therapy to being the emphasis of family therapy.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
