Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reviewed the literature on the application of western-developed family therapy in Korea.
Methods: The review identified three large categories of studies: theoretical studies of Korean family and culture, clinical recommendations, and research on family therapy models. The theoretical studies of Korean family and culture were categorized into four subjects: (1) pioneer studies, (2) studies of Korean traditional problem-solving methods, (3) application of sociocultural concepts to Korean culture, and (4) empirical studies of Korean culture and family.
Results: Although the reviewed studies have contributed to the knowledge of Korean culture and family, most studies have depended primarily on the authors’ subjective, and thus arbitrary, interpretation and judgments. This reveals a need for more objective, systematic studies in the future.
Conclusions: The authors proposed several types of future studies to help ensure continual improvement of culturally-tailored family therapy in Korea.
