Cross-Cultural Family Research and Practice broadens the theoretical and clinical perspectives on couple and family cross-cultural research with insights from a diverse set of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, communications, economics, and more. Examining topics such as family migration, acculturation and implications for clinical intervention, the book starts by providing an overarching conceptual framework, then moves into a comparison of countries and cultures, with an overview of cross-cultural studies of the family across nations from a range of specific disciplinary perspectives. Other sections focus on acculturation, migrating/migrated families and their descendants, and clinical practice with culturally diverse families.Studies cultural influences in couple and family relationshipsFeatures a broadly interdisciplinary perspectiveLooks at how cultural differences affect how families are structured and functionExplores why certain immigrant groups adapt better to new countries than othersDiscusses why certain countries are better at integrating immigrants than others
