The Religiously Fundamentalist Family: Training for Assessment and Treatment.

Denton, Roy T.

Journal of Social Work Education, v26 n1 p6-14 Win 1990

This article suggests that fundamentalist families are significantly different from nonfundamentalist families, that fundamentalist beliefs have an impact upon the family's operations to the extent that they are a distinct subculture, and that treatment requires sensitivity to their beliefs and a set of unique assessment and intervention skills.
