However, the effects observed vary significantly among studies, being large in some studies and lacking in others. This variability emphasises the need for more research within the field of relationship education. There is a need for more research regarding participants' experiences of engaging in various kinds of relationship education programs. The Gottman Seven Principles Couples Program (G7P) is a new relationship education program based on John Gottman's research. In the present study, a qualitative approach was selected to illuminate the participants' experiences with the G7P courses. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first qualitative study on this course. The aims were to explore why participants joined the G7P course in person or online, how they experienced it and how useful they found it. Reflexive thematic analysis has been used to analyse the experiences of 12 course participants. We generated four main themes: (1) reasons to attend; (2) impact of course organisation; (3) impact on the couple's relationship; and (4) motivation to devote more time to the couple's relationship. This small-scale qualitative study discusses how participants appear to have benefitted from the G7P courses, suggesting their generally positive attitudes towards relationship education programs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"46 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248444","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}

Through the autoethnographic method, the author analyses how her cultural background and linguistic diversity have shaped her perceptions, interpretations and interactions with others, influencing her evolving professional identity. Despite the increasing interest in diverse populations and multicultural strategies, research on the intrapersonal challenges and effectiveness of bilingual and bicultural practising remains limited. Striving to shape our identities to fit a diverse society, we often encounter numerous internal contradictions, leading to stress and misunderstandings. Total acceptance of the situation with all its inconsistencies and polarities; honouring one's roots, core values, experience and achievements; and appreciating the differences in others can significantly transform any circumstance. Exploring how integrative therapists navigate both spoken languages and the distinct ‘languages’ of various therapeutic approaches could provide valuable insights into working effectively across cultural and theoretical boundaries.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anzf.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145110720","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}

Faced with the absence of studies on this topic, this article addresses the use of this methodology in a group of women with fibromyalgia. This study was conducted in a multidisciplinary care institution for people with rheumatic diseases, with the participation of nine women aged between 31 and 64 years. Eleven weekly group meetings were conducted using the ‘Tree of Life’ methodology. In this text, we present the meetings held, emphasising the strategies for group adherence, the principles and resources that guided the coordinators' actions, and how the ‘Tree’ was used and adapted. The methodology proved to be flexible to adaptations, challenging the diagnostic logic by honouring the power of these women's life stories. However, it was not possible to capture the consolidation of these alternative narratives in the long term, with a limitation of this study being the lack of longitudinal data.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anzf.70013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861859","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}

We are critical of orthodox familial approaches to systemic thinking. Instead, we wish to be alert to the complexities we have to face, complexities that are larger than the clinic. These complexities force us—as clinicians—to recognise and take responsibility for the fact that the clinic is not a neutral or ironic position from which to explore possibilities but is itself affected and threatened by an environment that is larger than its scope. Part of the challenge we have ahead is to accept that the picture is not a pleasant one and that it is simply too late to believe in an innocence and in a path to ‘recovery’ if only we all ‘hug trees’. It seems timely to address climate change from this standpoint, in order to remind ourselves of what we have left behind when exploring systemic thinking as family conversations, as well as alerting us to what lies ahead in terms of the challenges of living a life: a far more degraded earth, an earth that is less forgiving and generous in the face of our arrogance. This paper will explore insights from Bateson and, using concepts developed by Deleuze and Guattari, will try to make some inroads into the sombre prospect we have ahead in terms of caring for this earth and addressing foundational issues of sustainability for ourselves as living organisms. We will explore the role that the clinic has ahead of itself in such challenging times.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705406","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 contribution attempts to ‘work the loop’ between the personal and the professional in a systemic account of the relationship between family therapy and climate change. The account begins with a practical question: How should practitioners formulate presentations where immediate environmental disaster, or the prospect of progressive degradation, is a key feature? Acknowledging the profound meaning of climate change, three fields are developed. First, data are presented on the two contrasting understandings of health and well-being that appear immediately relevant. Second, the mainstream understanding of the self is contrasted with a systemic view of the self. Third, the research undertaken by social epidemiology on the importance of personal relationships is summarised. It is argued that this research affirms the mission family therapy has traditionally served: to assist those we work for build ethical and reliable connections. In concluding, an affirming recommendation is put forward: in the context of climate change, the discipline's unique contribution to relationship-building makes this service especially important.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/anzf.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673162","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}
