| 1/2009 - 2/2009 - 3/2009 - 4/2009 - Übersicht Rivett, Mark (2009): Editorial: Looking both at and through the mirror. In: Journal of Family Therapy 31 (4): S. 335-337 Butler, Catherine (2009): Sexual and gender minority therapy and systemic practice. In: Journal of Family Therapy 31 (4): S. 338-358. abstract: While there has been an increase in papers addressing working with lesbian and gay clients over the past two decades, this paper builds on this historical context to combine the latest developments in therapy with sexual and gender minority clients with principles of systemic theory and practice. Clear guidelines are provided on how to apply sexual and gender minority therapy within a systemic frame. Specific issues relating to sexual and gender minority couple and family work are addressed, with the provision of further suggestions and resources. Singh, Reenee (2009): Constructing 'the family' across culture. In: Journal of Family Therapy 31 (4): S. 359-383. abstract: In this paper, which is based on a larger research study, I address the research question: How is 'the family' constructed and talked about in intercultural and intracultural systemic clinical sessions? I use the qualitative research method of discourse analysis to analyse transcripts from eleven intercultural and intracultural video-taped family therapy sessions. The participants in the research study were South Asian and White British clinicians and families. Through discourse analysis, I identified the 'Outsider–Insider discourse of family life' to describe the different ways in which families define the boundaries around 'the family'. The findings suggest that although 'the family' was constructed differently by South Asian and White British families, clinicians – regardless of whether they were working interculturally or intraculturally – privileged a discourse of 'the family' as a two-generation, two-parent unit. The theoretical, clinical and training implication of this finding will be discussed. Pandya, Kanan & Jane Herlihy (2009): An exploratory study into how a sample of a British South Asian population perceive the therapeutic alliances in family therapy. In: Journal of Family Therapy 31 (4): S. 384-404. abstract: There is currently little research on the therapeutic alliances in family therapy, and even less on those from minority ethnic backgrounds. This paper reports on how British South Asians attending family therapy perceive the alliances, and compares this to the constructs of a newly developed tool – the System for Observing Family Therapy Alliances. Nine participants were interviewed and thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data. The results suggest that certain aspects of the alliances may need more attention when working with this ethnic group. These are safety in front of the therapist and emotional connection to the therapist (including feelings towards the reflecting team and consideration of ethnically matching therapist and client). In general, the quality of the alliance is seen as more important than employing culturally specific techniques. The implications for diversity and family therapy training are discussed. Carr, Alan (2009): Thematic review of family therapy journals in 2008. In: Journal of Family Therapy 31 (4): S. 405-427. abstract: In this paper the contents of the principal English-language family therapy journals, and family therapy papers from other journals published in 2008, are reviewed under the following headings: child-focused problems, adult-focused problems, couples, diversity, developments in systemic practice, training, research, and recent deaths of significant contributors to the field.
