A Stranger in The Family: Culture, Families, and Therapy[1] is a text written by Canadian cultural psychiatrist and family therapist Vincenzo Di Nicola integrating family therapy and cultural psychiatry to create a model of cultural family therapy.
Di Nicola's approach to working with families across cultures brought together a new synthesis of family therapy and transcultural psychiatry.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Critical reviews were positive and encouraging by leaders in family therapy, such as Mara Selvini Palazzoli[9] and Celia Jaes Falicov,[10] as well as those in transcultural psychiatry, such as Armando Favazza.[11]
This preliminary work was collected and integrated into his model of cultural family therapy in A Stranger in the Family in 1997. In a recent interview with the Université de Montréal where he teaches, Di Nicola traces the origins and motivations for this work to his childhood origins as an Italian immigrant with empathy for the plight of immigrant children and families.[12]
