Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a multi-faceted phenomenon that adversely affects the health and well-being of individuals, families, and broader social systems. Inconsistent practices may involve excluding couples who report active violence in the relationship, as CRE is primarily prevention-focused and considered an insufficient response. However, CRE is a rapidly growing, accessible community resource that can be considered an initial gateway toward second-order change for couples experiencing violence. We offer specific recommendations for the practice of CRE, including systematic IPV assessment, practitioner training, resource utilization, and curriculum adaptations. Family systems tenets and existing research related to violence among couples support our conclusion that something is indeed better than nothing.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"16 3","pages":"515-524"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141336068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some research supports the theory's application in understanding White adolescents' racial socialization and identity development. The theory has yet to be applied to understanding the critical components that are essential for understanding how individuals interact with a digital society where racial inequality is pervasive. We propose a model of White adolescents' racial identity in response to racial socialization, and how that relationship manifests in social media contexts. We discuss how racial and social media literacies interact with family socialization and identity-related experiences to promote White adolescents' critical race consciousness and introduce a novel application of digital critical racial literacy and digital anti-racist action. The model advances symbolic interactionism by incorporating a critical lens, and can inform interventions aimed to educate parents, White youth, and social-media developers on anti-racist development.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"16 3","pages":"600-620"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141379659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overtly individualistic framing in its most common usage—the centering of oneself for the sake of oneself—obscures power relations and structural/institutional inequalities that create the need for self‐care. To deal with difficult work or family lives, taking up a hobby or some kind of diversion offers an escape that feels good; self‐care serves as a kind of coping mechanism, but not a solution to a social problem. It also lets society, or more specifically, managers and administrators in organizations, off the hook because it places the onus on individuals to deal with challenges on their own rather than situating them as social problems. We critique shortcomings in self‐care rhetoric employed by organizations—and specifically university administrators—to their members, by extending Hochschild's economy of gratitude framework.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141177486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review in order to evaluate existing publications that have empirically investigated the sharenting phenomenon and conceptualized its characteristics and possible consequences. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, 61 studies were reviewed. Based on the point of view and focus of the studies, six themes emerged: characteristics of sharenting, children's privacy, professional sharenting, children's perspectives, factors affecting sharenting, and social media dilemmas. The review highlights the growing prevalence of sharenting and provides a comprehensive overview of the empirical investigations and conceptualizations of the phenomenon.

{"title":"Celebrating the “good-enough families”: Family challenges and resilience during global adversity","authors":"Carla Crespo,&nbsp;Ana Paula Relvas","doi":"10.1111/jftr.12557","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jftr.12557","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Families have historically been and remain the most significant units of human existence (Montefiore, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). The recognition of the families' paradoxical position is as old as the beginning of family science. Although families are relational systems potentially providing great joy, support, and security, families are also where significant pain, loss, and trauma can originate from (Lebow, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Walsh, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). Family science has reflected this paradox. Historically, following an Hegelian dialectic of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, family science started by examining the deficits and identifying vulnerability and risk factors (thesis). The thesis was followed by a perspective shift that had scholars looking for the systems' strengths by addressing resources and protective factors (antithesis), and it has now arrived at a more mature and complex outlook, where elements from both traditions are not only acknowledged but also honored (a synthesis in working progress).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the pandemic, a major global adverse event, hit, there was little wonder in how both these contrasting visions of family were observed. On the one side, there were stories in the news about family separation and loss (e.g., families of essential workers being split up, older family members in reclusion and dying alone), apprehension about growing conflict and violence, especially towards women and children, and concerns about survival for those who were laid-off or lost their jobs. On the other side, there were stories about families reconnecting with each other, being able to spend more time together (e.g., new fathers at home for a baby's first months) rediscovering the joys of nature walks, board games, and of the slow baking of bread from starter-dough. The fear of families succumbing to the pandemic coexisted with their glorification as a sanctuary in troubled times. Because this split was more evident in messages from mass media, family science was not immune to this polarization (Lebow, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Yet, the field had already evolved greatly and since early on in the pandemic scholars have called for a more nuanced, integrated, and dynamic view of families living through unprecedented adversity (e.g., Walsh, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The will to transcend dichotomous thinking about families opened up an opportunity to revisit Donald Winnicott's concept of “the good enough mother” (Winnicott, &lt;span&gt;1953&lt;/span&gt;, p. 92). Being as generative as a good idea can be, this term from the 1950s seemed to be particularly useful to apply to families in the post-pandemic world. Winnicott (&lt;span&gt;1953&lt;/span&gt;) brilliantly observed that the mother adapted to the needs and growth of the baby and that, with time, it was necessary that she adapted less and less as the baby grew increasingly able to deal with the mother's small failures and tolerate the results of frustration. This attitude can be seen as a first lesson in resilience, as t","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"16 1","pages":"7-16"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.12557","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139967278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
