AFTA SPRINGERBRIEFS IN FAMILY THERAPY BILINGU...

This volume advocates for justice in language rights through its explorations of bilingualism
in family therapy  from the perspectives of eighteen languages identified by the authors: Black
Talk Ebonics Slang  Farsi  Fenglish  Arabic  Italian  Cantonese Chinese  South Korean  Mandarin
Chinese  Vietnamese  Spanish  Chilean Spanish  Mexican Spanish  Colombian Spanglish  Madrileño
Spanish  Spanglish  Pocho Spanish  Colloquial Spanish  and English. It identifies standard
English as the current language most often used across family therapy programs and services in
the United States. The book discusses efforts to respond to the rapidly changing linguistic
landscape and the increasingly high demand for appropriate therapy services that respond
effectively to diverse families in America. It discusses recruitment and training of
linguistically diverse family therapists and strategies to promote linguistic equality to
support the rights of family therapists  their practices  and the communities they serve.
Chapters explore ways to integrate languages in professional and personal lives  including the
improvisational  self-taught translanguaging skills and practices that go beyond the lexical
and grammatical rules of a language. The book describes the creative use of native or heritage
languages to ensure that the juxtaposition of English therapeutic and daily-life landscapes is
integrated into family therapy settings. It discusses contextual  relational  therapeutic  and
training potential offered by bilingualism as well as the necessary transmutations in theory
and practice. This volume is an essential resource for clinicians  therapists  and
practitioners as well as researchers  professors  and graduate students in family studies 
clinical psychology  and public health as well as all interrelated disciplines.
