Dysfunction in the Evangelical Family: Treatment Considerations

Abstract

Religious families are seen as presenting a unique challenge to the non-religious therapist. Though they differ from their non-religious counterparts in important ways, religious families have not received attention in clinical literature. The parentadolescent conflict in the evangelical family is high-lighted and used to illustrate the religious dimensions of the family problem. Authoritarian and Spiritualizing coping strategies are identified and viewed as having a religious basis. A discussion of treatment considerations centers around assessing religious influences in the family system and establishing a therapeutic alliance. A treatment strategy is proposed.
