| Abstract: | Values have been shown to be a pervasive part of both marriage and family therapy (MFT) clinical practice and research. Yet,
many therapists and researchers remain unclear about how values affect their work. This article examines the influence of
Western philosophical assumptions and therapy traditions in light of current understandings of values in therapy. The influence
of values in MFT research processes is similarly examined. Implications for how family therapy professionals can be more reflective
and sophisticated in their understanding of values in clinical practice and scientific inquiry are discussed. Suggestions
for addressing values in MFT training also are given. |
