<p>The knowledge and skills of any clinical discipline should be evaluated from the sociopolitical, cultural-historic, and socioeconomic context of the specific countries under study. This context is particularly important for the practice of family and couples’ therapy. Acknowledging such reality, the authors became interested in learning about the status and emphasis of family therapy of those Latino American countries that have published their programs in the Web Page. By collecting the available information, we identified a variety of academic offerings, including their goals and requirements.&nbsp; In addition, the authors present an analysis of the strengths and limitations of the highly regulated North American family therapy formation in comparison to the development of the field in Latin America. Finally, we invite readers to reflect and join together to define a set of core competencies that could guide our work in advancing the development of family and couples’ therapy as a science and as a profession in our Latin-American world.</p>
