Director of the Asian Academy of Family Therapy and Aitia
Family Institute, is recipient of the prestigious 2014 American
Family Therapy Academy’s Distinguished Contribution to Family
Therapy Theory and Practice Award. Much of Dr. Lee’s research
focused on dispersing the many myths about Asian Chinese families,
as well as developing a framework for a culturally relevant
approach in working with not only Chinese families, but also
families of the world. She has been invited to deliver keynotes
and workshops in America, Europe, and Asia, where her work has
influenced many family workers, particularly in Mainland China
and Taiwan. Her research on Children’s response to parental
conflicts has been considered ground-breaking in the family
therapy field in which she has expanded the knowledge and technology
to the studying of children from divorce and trans-generational families.
In addition to her numerous publications on working with Asian
families, Dr. Lee has co-authored three books with Salvador Minuchin,
including the first and second editions of “Mastering family
therapy – Journeys of growth and transformation,” and the most recent,
“Assessing families and couples – From symptom to system,” together
with Michael Nichols, all of which has been translated into many different
languages. A newspaper columnist, her series of books on families
written in Chinese has been published in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong respectively.
