Abstract

This article examines the recent developments of Problem-Solving (Strategic) Family Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy for Chinese in the United States. These developments include: an integration of the aforementioned approaches; an integration of Psychoeducational Family Treatment with Interactional Supportive Group Therapy for families who have a family member suffering from severe and persistent mental disorders; and an increase in group work for clients with severe and persistent mental disorders, and teamwork and group supervision among Chinese counselors. Specific cultural and clinical issues related to these developments are discussed.
