Abstract

The concept of family triangulation is one of the most important concepts in the field of family therapy. This concept has been widely accepted in the western world and a wonder has been formed: can it be applied in the nonwestern world? This chapter is going to give evidences that family triangulation can be applied in the nonwestern world, at least in the Chinese culture. Chinese culture expressed in Chinese operas and oral history has clearly documented some of the same concepts as seen in the concept of family triangulation in the West.
