Abstract
This article aims to raise awareness amongst non‐Indian therapists working with Indian people by highlighting some of the important aspects of Indian culture within the New Zealand context. Although there is a great deal of diversity amongst Indians, there are some fundamental issues that would have relevance for most Indians. Specific issues relating to immigrant families are discussed, such as the sacrifices made by families in the hope of providing a better future for their children and the difficulties encountered by new migrants. The cultural clash for young people caught between parental expectations and peer pressure can often lead to significant family conflict. Some of the common pitfalls for non‐Indian therapists working with Indian people are outlined and suggestions made in relation to the process of therapy.
