For this purpose 365 couples (N=730) were selected from among the staff of several industrial companies, and a number of teachers in Tehran. Purposive sampling method was used and 11couples with highest scores from Four ENRICH Couple Scales (2010), who described themselves as happy couples, underwent an in-depth, semi-structured interview. Interviews were taped and transcribed and the first order themes and subthemes were identified in the texts. In order to reduce the interviewer bias, the results were discussed and approved by each couple. The results showed that successful couples: a) solve their own problems, b) have mutual understanding in financial managements and costs, c) spend their leisure time together with their families, d) are good friends, and e) respect each other.

This has led to greater diversity in providing more culturally responsive services to various minority groups. However, true transformation and innovation in our thinking needed to ensure that our fields support and encourage cultural diversity and social justice are still lacking. This chapter offers a framework for supporting and including a social justice perspective in family therapy praxis by discussing a vision of social justice that is true to the needs of families we serve. We (the authors) also offer some ideas about a paradigm shift in thinking about the inclusion of diversity and social justice in practice to help clinicians understand multicultural clients’ dilemmas and challenges.
