Therapist Gonzalo Bacigalupe (Thousand Oaks, CA: Masterswork Productions, 2003), 1 hour 16 minutes
An interview with an Irani immigrant mother and her 23 year old daughter highlights the difference that their cultural lenses create in their mutual expectations.
Abstract
An interview with an Irani immigrant mother and her 23 year old daughter highlights the difference that their cultural lenses create in their mutual expectations. Very typical of children becoming Americanized, the daughter wants to fit into the social scene with her friends while the mother wants her to respect the cultural norms of her generation from Iran. The way she dresses, the fact that she doesn’t live with her mother even though she is unmarried, the amount of time devoted to family, are all at issue in this session. Their therapist, who is also an Irani woman is present at the consultation. How do we assist families in this predicament? In an epilogue to the program Gonzalo makes his session transparent and provides afterthoughts about the work.
