The Official Journal of the International Family Therapy Association

Designed with the practicing clinician in mind, the Journal of Family Psychotherapy features a case study orientation that makes for very interesting reading. Highlights include:

  • Case Studies: Focused studies of a single case seen in family psychotherapy, illustrating the etiology, maintenance, and/or process of change of the problem.
  • Program Reports: Descriptions of treatment programs that have been used successfully to treat specific problems or new orientations used generally in family therapy. Clinical case examples are included.
  • Strategies in Clinical Practice: Detailed descriptions of therapeutic procedures used successfully to treat specific family-related problems; descriptions of family therapy processes used to manage problems usually treated in individually oriented therapy; or examinations of a few cases presenting the range of treatment possibilities for specific problems.

The Journal of Family Psychotherapy has, besides its regular submissions of case studies, program reports, strategies in clinical practice, and original applied research, a number of special sections. These include:

  • Family Therapy Around the World
  • Family Therapy and Mental Health, edited by Malcolm MacFarlane
  • Intervention Interchange, edited by Thorana Nelson
  • Media Reviews, edited by Thomas Stone Carlson
In addition, each volume year includes a special issue (most often a double-issue) which offers an in-depth exploration of a state-of-the-art and clinically relevant topic.
 
Peer Review Policy: All review papers in this journal have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
