Abstract
The first part of this book defines the family from the transcultural point of view and explains previous methods and approaches to family therapy. In giving this information, we will dispense with the narrower views of family therapy and try to present it as a method of therapeutic thought.
If you give someone a fish, you feed him only once.
If you teach him how to fish, he can feed himself forever.
