Among these are Traditional Behavioural Couple Therapy (TBCT), Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy (IBCT) and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), each propagating a different treatment focus. TBCT aims to increase the frequency ratio of positive to negative partner behaviour, IBCT aims to enhance acceptance of partner behaviour and EFCT aims to make the underlying attachment bond more secure. To date, the explanatory power of the theoretical accounts underlying these therapies has never been directly compared. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional examination of the variances explained of relationship satisfaction and instability, by frequency and acceptance of partner behaviour and attachment, using Actor-Partner Interdependence Modelling in a convenience sample of 539 heterosexual couples. We found that all three conceptualizations were associated with relationship functioning. Acceptance and attachment explained the largest proportions of variance in satisfaction, whereas attachment explained the greatest portion of instability.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-6427.12490","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was informed by my developing systemic practice alongside my work as a clinical psychologist in a community learning disability service. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews transcribed near verbatim and analysed using Foucauldian discourse analysis. The analytic process considered discursive objects, wider discourse, action orientation, subject positions and subjectivity. Five constructions of the support worker relationship are presented, namely, the support worker relationship as professional, equal and shared, a thing that can be bought with money, a family and being watched/protected. These constructions were drawn from discourses regarding professionalism, independence, the law, equality and humanity, industry and economy, parenting and longevity, and impairment. Some constructions matched those in the literature. The list of constructions could be used as a therapeutic tool to consider how constructions might utilise different discourses to enable meanings, practices and positions to be adopted or abandoned.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","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 explore how therapists approach the critical topics of race, gender and social justice in therapy. To expand on existing research, the present study utilised a qualitative thematic analysis to examine the experience of eleven marriage and family therapists (MFTs) of varying experience levels. Graduate students (n = 6), professors (n = 4) and clinicians in private practice also working as faculty (n = 1) were included. Results showed evidence of five themes which included: Personhood of the Therapist, Critical Mindset, Therapist Anxiety and Fear of Marginalisation, Effective Intervention and The Role of Supervision. This study contributes to expanding the literature on how therapists can provide culturally sensitive therapy, aid in evolving therapeutic techniques and work to improve therapeutic outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143447198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mosaic approach with reflexive thematic analysis was used as the guiding methodology. The participants comprised seven children between the ages of six and 11 years. Rich data was gathered through child-led tours, photographs of the therapy space, interviews and creative sessions with children plus interviews with five parents and four therapists. The findings indicate that the children considered family therapy to be an overall positive experience, thanks to the therapists, creative play-based approaches and a therapy space that catered for them. Prior to starting therapy, children require more information about therapy to feel at ease. Creative approaches, together with caregivers' involvement, were identified as essential therapeutic tools with which to engage children in talk and play. Children's increased agency throughout the termination process is also essential. Suggestions for practice include a pre-therapy booklet, using creative techniques as a primary tool when working with children, and ensuring an adequate therapy space. Suggestions for training include therapeutic skill development relating to working with children. Suggestions for future research are also made. This study's strength is that it highlights and spotlights children's perspectives.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-6427.12484","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143438823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing literature consistently shows positive outcomes in terms of weight gain, reduced eating disorder and comorbid symptomology. However, it is crucial to note that although many day programmes consider family-based treatment a core framework, research on treatment outcomes for parents and the relationship between parent outcomes and adolescent outcomes remains limited. The current pilot study evaluated parent (n = 20) and adolescent (n = 13) outcomes of a new day programme for adolescents with restrictive eating disorders and their families. Results showed significant improvements across body mass index, eating disorder and comorbid symptomatology for adolescents and improvements in parent self-efficacy, parent mental health and a reduction in eating disorder accommodating behaviours. The findings suggest several potential mediators of day programme outcomes that could be tested in future research.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-6427.12486","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Park's (2013) concept of monomaternalism, we explore how established norms of families as consisting of two biological opposite-sex parents impacted participating mothers. Five nonbiological and/or non-carrying/gestational mothers who had formed a family within a lesbian/queer couple relationship took part in the study. An interpretative phenomenological analysis approach (Smith et al., 2009) was used. Three themes are explored: (1) co-mothers' experiences of normativity in professional encounters; (2) co-mothers' co-creation of their maternal selves; and (3) tension between the co-mother's constructed identity and the professional systems involved with her family. The study invites family therapists and systemic practitioners working with co-mothers and their families to consider the impact of heteronormativity and monomaternalism on their work. We hope to enrich understanding, broaden complexity and encourage practitioners to seek out and allow small and subjugated discourses to protect and include co-mothers and LGBTQ+ families.","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
