Differentiation of self as a predictor of Asian ‐American immigrants’ perceptions of cultural harmony
The purpose of the study was to examine whether Bowen's () construct, differentiation of self, would predict cultural harmony (Benet‐Martínez and Haritatos, ) among Asian‐American immigrants. The study was a correlational design, with a sample of 154 adults who identified as first‐generation Asian Americans and had lived in the US for at least five years. Results of regression analyses showed that greater overall differentiation of self, measured by the Differentiation of Self Inventory‐Revised (DSI‐R; Skowron and Schmitt, ), had a positive significant association with participants’ perceptions of cultural har...

Resistant to change? The transition to parenthood among married adults in China
This study sheds light on China's family therapy practice, which should take into consideration the demographic trends and cultural factors in understanding the role conflict within the family, such as intergenerational relations and gender ideology.
Practitioner points
Role incompatibility of having children can be relieved by extended family, so therapy programmes dealing with intergenerational relationship should be developed
Family therapists should consider the pace of gender ideology change in child rearing during negotiation of the husband‐wife relationship
Training programmes can be more specific to the extended ...

Attachment and relationship satisfaction among first married, remarried, and post ‐divorce relationships
This study examined relationship satisfaction and adult attachment in a sample of 562 participants: 340 in a first marriage (60.5%); 122 separated/divorced from their first spouse (21.7%); and 100 in a second marriage (17.8%). For participants in a relationship (dating or married), findings indicated no differences between groups on relationship satisfaction; instead, attachment served as a better predictor of satisfaction. Further, no differences existed when comparing first‐ and second‐married participants on attachment. Differences existed between separated/divorced participants and first‐ and second‐married par...

Challenging core cultural beliefs and maintaining the therapeutic alliance: a qualitative study
This study examines how therapists working within a specialist cultural service in London, UK were able to question a family's core cultural belief system whilst building and maintaining a strong therapeutic alliance. Video‐assisted semi‐structured interviews were carried out with two family members and their two therapists, and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that core beliefs can be effectively challenged within the context of a strong therapeutic alliance if topics are approached in a sensitive and respectful manner, by trusted therapists who have a degree of knowledge and awareness of their o...

Cross ‐cultural supervision in international settings: experiences of foreign supervisors and native supervisees in Cambodia
This study explores how native Cambodian therapists experience clinical supervision conducted by non‐native supervisors. In this responsive evaluation, data were triangulated across multiple stakeholders (N = 95) and collection methods, including focus groups, interviews, and live supervision observations. Emergent themes highlight the need for intentionally culturally responsive supervision and included challenges with non‐native supervisors, unresponsive methods of learning and power imbalances. Therapists emphasized that they were less likely to attend supervision and felt discouraged when it was not culturally ...

Inequity of sacrifice and marital satisfaction in Chinese young couples
There is an emerging body of research focusing on the positive and negative effects of sacrifice on relationship quality, but few of them have investigated the effects of the inequity of sacrifice. In the light of social exchange theory and equity theory, this study examines the roles inequity of sacrifice plays in marital satisfaction in China. Based on the questionnaires completed by 115 Chinese young couples, we find that wives’ perceived inequity of sacrifice, rather than husbands’ perceived inequity or the actual inequity of sacrifice, is predictive to both spouses’ marital satisfaction. In addition, wives’ pe...

Joining revisited in family therapy: discourse analysis of cross ‐cultural encounters between a therapist and an immigrant family
With increasing diversity in therapeutic dyads, there has been renewed attention to the process of ‘joining’ in cross‐cultural encounters. Inspired by discourse analysis, we conducted a close reading of therapy transcripts between a Pakistani immigrant mother‐daughter dyad and a Canadian white female therapist in an outpatient clinic. Our findings illustrate detailed discursive interactions for joining techniques – selective joining, confirmation, and tracking – (1) where the therapist facilitates joining moments with the family and (2) where the same techniques are used to preclude further exploration of the f...
