TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Up close: family therapy challenges and innovations around the world JO - Family Process A1 - Roberts, Janine A1 - Abu-Baker, Khawla A1 - Diez Fernández, Cristina A1 - Chong Garcia, Nelly A1 - Fredman, Glenda A1 - Kamya, Hugo A1 - Martín Higarza, Yolanda A1 - Fortes de Leff, Jacqueline A1 - Messent, Philip A1 - Nakamura, Shin-Ichi A1 - Torun Reid, Fatma A1 - Sim, Timothy A1 - Subrahmanian, Chitra A1 - Zevallos Vega, Roxana SP - 544 EP - 576 VL - 53 IS - 3 N2 - Family therapists from 10 different countries (China, India, Israel including Palestinian citizens, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Turkey, Uganda, and the United Kingdom) describe systemic therapy in their contexts and current innovative work and challenges. They highlight the importance of family therapy continuing to cut across disciplines, the power of systems ideas in widely diverse settings and institutions (such as courts, HIV projects, working with people forced into exile), extensive new mental health initiatives (such as in Turkey and India), as well as the range of family therapy journals available (four alone in Spain). Many family therapy groups are collaborating across organizations (especially in Asia) and the article presents other ideas for connections such as a clearing house to inexpensively translate family therapy articles into other languages.
