Abstract
The efficacy of family therapy treatment in adolescent drug abuse is widely attested. Though the family is recognized as the most fundamental unit in a modern Chinese society like Hong Kong, the role of the family has not been adequately explored and systematically integrated into adolescent drug treatment. This paper explores the role of family therapy in adolescent drug treatment in Hong Kong based on the reports of a group of adolescent drug abusers and their social workers. Preliminary results show that family therapy is useful for changing family communication and interactional patterns in adolescent drug rehabilitation. Some recommendations are made in view of cultural considerations.
