To examine the applicability of Contextual Family Therapy to non-western populations, a measure of the theory's central constructs of Trust/Justice, Loyalty, and Entitlement (the Relational Ethics Scale), was administered to a sample of 50 Iranian and 51 American college students studying in the same U.S. schools. The Iranian students reported significantly more vertical constructs (Familial) Trust/Justice and Entitlement, while the American students reported more horizontal (Closest Friend) Trust/Justice and Loyalty constructs in relationships. Finally, the women (25 of each nationality) in the sample, regardless of nationality, reported significantly greater Loyalty in their horizontal relationships than did men.

Systems Framework

From a national survey of family therapy and drug abuse treatment, diverse methods of treating families from varying ethnic/minority backgrounds have been derived in an effort to integrate both family and environmental systems theory—an “ecological” family therapy approach. A number of cross-cultural approaches to working with addict families are described and a systems framework is used to discuss the various treatment strategies. Conclusions are drawn about the major family factors which transcend cultural differences. Particularly relevant to all cultures are conflicts regarding loss, separation, parental discipline and dependency issues.
