[Transcultural aspects of family therapy].

The transcultural view is evident throughout all of Positive Family-Therapy. It helps us to understand the individual conflicts and can also be important in dealing with such social issues as the treatment of illegal aliens and refugees, foreign aid for the Third World countries, problems in dealing with members of other cultural systems, interracial and transcultural marriages, prejudices, alternative life-styles societies and political problems. 4 ways of dealing with conflict and the 5-stage Positive Family-Therapy are therapeutic strategies in which therapy and self-help are intertwined.
