Abstract

The authors of this article aim to raise cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity to

marriage and family therapists by providing knowledge gained from a study of the impact of

September 11, 2001, on Muslim families in Southern California. The authors will look at the

depression and fear as related to such factors as culture, religion, ethnicity, and gender.

Findings reflect the Muslim people experience varying levels of depression and fear when

faced with traumatic events, such as the horrific events of September 11, 2001. The data in

this study were collected and multiple regression statistical analysis were used to examine

the significance or the extent to which factors contributed to imbalances in mental well

being of Muslim families in Southern California. Findings may be helpful to marriage and

family therapists when treating Muslim families.
