Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study examined the theoretical developments and clinical practices that have emerged in family therapy in the postmodern era and exploredthe acceptance of postmodern therapeutic ideas among Korean family therapists.
Methods: Nine Korean clinical cases were examined using qualitative content analysis in order to find the acceptance and application of six specific postmodern practice ideas.
Results: The results revealed that the therapists properly and effectively applied the specified postmodern ideas to their cases. It was found that the principles requiring a thorough understanding of a narrative paradigm were used less by Korean family therapists than principles that were more consistent with Korean culture.
Conclusions: Korean family therapists appear to be adopting postmodern ideas in their clinical practice and are slowly turning to a narrative paradigm.
