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.
