Feminist family therapy focuses on the gendered context of clients' lives, but has been criticized for mirroring the needs of White, middle-class women only. The multicultural approach to therapy emphasizes respect for diverse cultural values, but is vulnerable to using tradition to mask abuses. Integration of these two perspectives can address these criticisms, but also raises ethical concerns. Therapists need to be aware of these dilemmas as well as suggestions for managing them
