“…Even when a therapist is from an immigrant and/or minority group in the United States, the theories, models, and assessments we use in our practice often reflect the values and beliefs of the dominant culture (Wieling & Rastogi, ). Decolonizing clinical practices offers a strength‐based, non‐pathologizing stance and uses culturally responsive interventions to consider families within their multiple socio‐political cultural contexts, while paying special attention to their communities, support systems, traditions, and values (Bermúdez, Zak‐Hunter, & Silva, ; McDowell & Hernandez, ; McDowell et al., ; Waites, Macgowan, Pennell, Carlton‐LaNey, & Weil, ). A decolonizing lens is especially relevant for working with marginalized, immigrant, and/or ethnic minority families in the United States (Bermúdez, Muruthi, & Jordan ).…”

When working with clients in another language, having culturally relevant and properly translated clinic materials is vital to effective clinical practice. Not having them presents a barrier for bilingual therapists and their clients. This paper reviews common translation methods and introduces a multi-level, community-based approach for translating clinic materials for non-English speaking clients. Informed by decolonizing practices, this five-tier method includes members from the target community as cultural brokers to verify the accuracy and nuances of language for their cultural group, as well as a constant comparative method to ensure methodological rigor in the process of inclusion. We present community member's feedback and recommendations, as well as discuss advantages and challenges of using this collaborative culturally responsive translation method.

“…Coincidently, these foci also are consistent with CRT, as RE privileges the particular needs of a given population, is flexible to the unique needs of participants, and relies on insider knowledge. It also is accountable to the community and works directly to improve the client’s context (Carlson, Erickson, McGeorge, & Bermudez, 2004) as well as assess the lives of participants from a strength‐based perspective (Bermúdez, Zak‐Hunter, & Silva, 2011). Integration of these two approaches, RE and CRT are compatible (see Table 1) and RE offer scholars and therapists a rigorous method for evaluating and conducting responsive intervention (see Table 2).…”

Models of marriage and family therapy (MFT) typically reflect Western values and norms, and although cultural adaptations are made, many models/frameworks continue to be inappropriate or inadequate for use with non-Western cultures. Worldwide, therapists are examining ways of using MFT models in a culturally sensitive manner, especially when working with clients who are seen as having minority status or perceived as "other" by the dominant group. This essay suggests the use of responsive evaluation as a theoretically consistent methodology for creating and evaluating culturally responsive therapies. This approach rigorously evaluates each unique client/therapist context, culture, power, needs, and beliefs. We describe responsive evaluation and discuss how each component addresses the research needs of examining culturally responsive family therapies. A case illustration is offered delineating the process of conducting culturally responsive therapy with a Cambodian sample using solution-focused and narrative therapy.

Supporting parents to meet the challenges of their caregiving role is identified as a public health concern and a priority in policies internationally. Quantitative research has established the efficacy of parenting programmes but less is understood about the key aspects that make interventions meaningful and helpful to families. We aimed to explore parents' experiences and perceptions of parenting programmes in order to highlight the parent voice and identify key factors that parents perceive to be meaningful and improve our understanding of the acceptability and perceived benefits of parenting programmes. Six key electronic databases were searched systematically for qualitative research and eligibility for inclusion was established. A thematic synthesis was undertaken. Twenty-six studies were included, spanning 17 years of parenting research and involving 822 parents. Three main themes and nine subthemes were identified: (1) a family's journey (prior to the parenting programme, outcomes (including changes in the parent, child and wider family) and post-intervention), (2) aspects perceived to be important or valuable (group leader or facilitator, programme content and delivery and value of the group) and (3) challenges or difficulties (barriers to engagement or attendance, programme content and suggestions for improvement). Reported outcomes of parenting programmes included changes in the parent alongside changes in the child and family more widely. Key recommendations to improve provision of accessible, clinically and cost-effective interventions for parents include ensuring high-quality training and supervision of facilitators, balancing flexibility and fidelity to ensure tailored content to meet individual needs, a sensitivity to parental adversity, the need for wider familial support and the availability of ongoing support following the end of a parenting programme.
