Intersectional Scholar Advocacy in a Shifting United States Political Landscape
Intersectional feminist frameworks offer family science scholars the conceptual lens to consider overlapping systems of identities and power structures in families and society to understand how families live. Yet the shifting politicization of scholarship that examines diversity and inclusion is contributing to the social erasure of people and families who live with marginalized identities, highlighting the ongoing necessity and relevance of inte…
Understanding Transgender and Non-binary Youth Mental Health Through the Family Resilience Framework
A Content Analysis of the First Decade of the Journal of GLBT Family Studies
The emergence of several specialized journals that examine the experiences of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) individuals, families, and communities, particularly the Journal of GLBT Family Studies, has profoundly shaped GLBT research. Engaging in taking stock activities helps to identify trends on which future research should focus to further develop the field. For example, scholars suggest critical analysis of journal publication…
A Content Analysis of LGBT Research in Top Family Journals 2000-2015
The past decades have witnessed some of the most prolific changes in rights and experiences for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) individuals and their families. Research during this period also witnessed a significant increase in the study of these changes. The current content analysis systematically reviewed all LGBT-related articles published in top-ranked, general family science journals from 2000 to 2015 to gauge the state of this g…
Postmodern Influence in Family Therapy Research
Postmodernism has influenced family therapy in significant ways, from clinical work to family therapy research. Little has been written, however, on how to conduct postmodern research in a manner reflecting marriage and family therapy inquiries. The present study seeks to investigate doctoral students understanding of postmodern family therapy research. Using collaborative language theory and collaborative inquiry, students participated in a dial…
Gay Men’s (Non)Monogamy Ideals and Lived Experience
“It's Always the Mother's Fault”
This instrumental case study (Stake, 2003) explores the process of transition and secondary stigma experienced by a white single mother who is parenting her six-year-old transgender daughter. Using an online chat interview format, a mother living in a rural U.S. community was asked to describe her parenting experiences as well as her perceptions of support services involving her child. Specifically, the aspects of mental health services that she …
Differences in Emerging-Adult Women's Body Image and Sexuality Outcomes According to BMI and Dating Status
Emerging adulthood is a crucial time for the development of body image and sexuality concerns among women. We collected self-reported data from 184 women to determine possible differences according to body mass index (BMI) classification and dating status. Multivariate analyses of variance and follow-up univariate analyses of variance were conducted to determine differences in body image and sexuality outcomes according to both BMI (normal weight…
The Relationship Between College Women’s Sexual Attitudes and Sexual Activity
This study examined the relationship between sexual attitudes and engagement in sexual activity among a sample of 401 college women. In addition, we investigated the potential role of body image as a mediator of this relationship. Online surveys included self-report measures of sexual attitudes ranging from liberal to conservative, body image satisfaction, and frequency of sexual activity. Results indicated that more liberal sexual attitudes were…
Seeking Support
Mental health research and practice has traditionally maintained a view of transgender people through the narrow lens of gender identity disorder. Recently, broader understandings of gender have influenced affirmative therapy with transgender clients. The purpose of the present research is to critically review historical views of transgender clients and to highlight experiences of transgender clients in therapy. Feminist phenomenology informed in…
Flattening the Hierarchy
The authors explore the process of developing an advanced, doctoral-level course in feminist-informed family therapy (FIFT). The learning objectives of the course were to: (1) help students to further develop as feminists; and (2) integrate this feminist identity into our work as clinicians, researchers, and scholars. We met these course objectives using readings, journaling, clinical examples, and feminist supervision, and we offer guidance to o…
