Family rituals--from research to the consulting room and back again: comment on the special section

Evan Imber-Black. J Fam Psychol. 2002 Dec.

Abstract

This article offers a comment on the special research section on Family Routines and Rituals from the point of view of a family therapist who has made the use of rituals a specialty in clinical practice. Ways that the research usefully informs clinicians seeking to use rituals in therapy are highlighted. A critique of the articles, particularly in the area of ritual definition, is offered. The comment concludes with several suggestions for future research.
