Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the projects and works undertaken by the international network of the Korean Association of Family Therapy during the last 30 years, and to suggest directions and future goals for building and improving networks abroad in the field of family therapy.
Methods: Text analysis was used to find information related to international perspectives from webpages for the Korean Association of Family Therapy and other international family therapy associations.
Results: We made four suggestions. First, newsletters of KAFT should be disseminated to international organizations at least twice per year to share events, achievements, and updates in the clinical and academic field in Korea. Second, we should launch an international accreditation system in order to make KAFT’s certified family therapies applicable, especially in other Asian countries. Third, planning regular programs and events with clinical centers and organizations abroad may help with our better understanding clients with different cultural backgrounds. Fourth, it would be beneficial to provide feedback from attendees to international guest speakers and to develop strong relationships.
Conclusions: Specific activities and suggestions applicable to the context of Korean family therapy were discussed.
