Abstract

Although the practice of marriage and family therapy in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) has been gaining popularity since the late 1990s, the establishment of formal marriage and family therapy education in Uzbekistan has proceeded much slower than the other regions of the former USSR. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the quality and quantity of marriage and family therapy education in Uzbekistan by studying a sample of current practitioners. This article provides (a) an overview of Uzbekistan’s culture and family dynamics, (b) the status of current psychotherapeutic services provided, and (c) the availability and quality of education in psychotherapy and marriage and family therapy in that country. Implications for curriculum development and training are included.
