- Short Description:
- Minuchin reflects on how family therapy has evolved alongside shifting political and cultural tides. He contrasts early structural models with later constructivist approaches, noting how each reflects assumptions about power, class, and expertise. Using a case of a mother navigating child welfare systems, he illustrates the complexities of working with underserved families and calls for culturally responsive, socially aware interventions that don’t ignore systemic constraints.
