Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the adaptability of systemic and strategic family therapies when working with various cultural groups?
 
  A) Systemic and strategic family therapies rely on a theory-based definition of health and normalcy, so they do not adapt easily to different cultural groups and subpopulations.

  C) Since a specific therapeutic plan is designed for each problem in strategic family therapy, there are no contraindications in terms of patient selection and suitability.
  D) Systemic ideas and approaches cannot be easily modified to meet the needs of families from various cultural groups and ethnicities.
