It uses the externalisation of anorexic thoughts and behaviours to separate the person from the anorexia nervosa (AN) through language and metaphor. Little is known about how clinicians understand, conceptualise and support families to externalise. Semi-structured interviews conducted with FBT-trained clinicians working in child and adolescent mental health services were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes emerged: the clinician’s use of externalisation, the impact on family functioning and the barriers to externalisation. Externalisation can support a young person’s recovery from AN when used in conjunction with other therapeutic skills. Clinicians should be aware of potential barriers to the implementation of externalisation, such as problem awareness, age and duration of illness.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Clinicians value externalisation as an important therapeutic technique within the FBT model, while acknowledging that the ‘ED as illness’ metaphor can challenge their own beliefs.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Externalisation can improve family functioning, family communication and reducing conflict within relationships in families with AN.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Lack of insight into the AN can present as a barrier to externalisation for a young person.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 3","pages":"351-369"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42010691","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}

Hence the practice of family therapy has the potential to mirror racist and colonialist tropes found within society. There are low levels of satisfaction by people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds to the level of sensitivity to culture and racism that takes place in therapy. This paper explores ways a systemic psychotherapy might be more sensitive to differences in race and culture. Drawing upon systemic and anthropological constructions of culture, suggestions are made for practice that is more questioning of the barely conscious or unconscious assumptions made by the therapist, which can then lead to open scrutiny of these assumptions. In doing so, I draw upon my own experiences, and those of my own family, of racism, of culture and of movement across cultures.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Structural racism in society will find its way into the therapy room unless therapists are open to an examination of their own prejudices and often unconscious assumptions.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Such an examination then opens the way to forms of practice that are more sensitive to differences of race and culture.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>A form of practice more sensitive to race and culture is proposed as a systemic response to racism, whilst keeping in mind the need for change at a social and political level.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 1","pages":"44-55"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47918508","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}

Utilising settler colonial theory as a guide, I identify how the colonial nations, built through the violent exclusion of Indigenous and exogenous peoples, utilised the family to further their goals. Rather than suggest settler colonialism was an historic event, I consider how it continues today, privileging white families of European descent. To move the conversation forward on how white therapists from majoritised cultures can engage with racialised clients, I describe the negotiated spaces as a meeting ground where therapists and clients navigate differing worldviews. In these negotiations, our clients trust us, and to be accountable to this trust, we can unsettle the influence of settler colonialism. To conclude this paper, I discuss four possible pathways to begin the complicated process of unsettling.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner Points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Settler colonialism contributed to the standardisation of the nuclear family, informing the foundations of family therapy.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Establishing a ‘negotiated space’ in therapy can encourage ethical engagement between therapist and client as they navigate differences in culture, knowledge and meaning.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>To ethically be in the negotiated spaces, therapists from majoritised cultures can ‘unsettle’ settler colonialism’s influence.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Learning personal and disciplinary relationships to settler colonialism, developing cultural humility and attending to power is the first step in unsettling.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 1","pages":"171-185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49416639","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}

This paper reports findings from interviews exploring families’ experiences of this intervention, and questionnaires which measured change for families over the course of the programme.

Children reported improved wellbeing with respect to family life, and a reduction in ‘avoidance’ with respect to talking or thinking about parental conflict.

Improvements in the parent–child relationships were noted, and the TPFF helped to improve family members’ communal coping scores. Participation did not lead to negative changes on any measure.
