Victims often become parents who experience parenting difficulties, therefore contributing to the intergenerational cycle of maltreatment. This paper highlights the consequences of severe trauma during childhood on two processes critical for a sensitive response, namely the recognition of and the initial reaction to emotional signals. We argue that most interventions focus on the observed parental response to children's behaviors or on parental interpretation of children's signals, that is, the attribution of meaning or intent to the signal. Interventions should better integrate research indicating that a history of childhood maltreatment could impair the capacity to correctly identify the emotion and the immediate reaction to these signals. By failing to acknowledge these long-lasting consequences of childhood maltreatment, scholars and practitioners might never achieve true success in intervening with families in the hope of breaking the intergenerational cycle of maltreatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"16 3","pages":"621-632"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.12572","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141489491","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}

However, researchers and practitioners inconsistently incorporate companion animals into theoretical conceptualizations of family, despite growing empirical evidence of the substantive impact of companion animals in people's lives. To more accurately capture people's lived realities of companion animals as family members, we advance a model of ecoexpansive kinship, which validates expansive family forms and functions across multiple levels of social ecological influence. To illustrate our model's applicability, we explore key definitions and outline major theoretical foundations and applications of companion animal research. We then demonstrate both the theoretical significance and empirical reality of where companion animal kinship fits into family dynamics. An ecoexpansive kinship approach can promote more conceptual, cohesive theorization of how to holistically model kinship to be inclusive of companion animals that can be applied across research and practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"16 3","pages":"582-599"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142158649","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}

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}

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 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.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"60-72"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"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}
