Women in families : a framework for family therapy

This comprehensive book, ideal as a basic text in family therapy and womens studies, addresses the question of how women experience family life from a variety of perspectives. It covers gender issues in family therapy theory, practice, and training; women in context (ethnicity and life cycle issues, marriage, motherhood, sisterhood, women alone, lesbian couples), and such special issues as work, addiction, and mental illness.

Bereavement: A family life cycle perspective

This article presents a family developmental systems framework to examine the immediate and long-term ramifications of death and loss in the multigenerational network of relationships. Based largely on our early research and extensive clinical experience, we examine family adaptation processes and variables in risk and resilience. We consider factors that impact families depending on the nature of the death, the state of relationships and family functioning at the time of loss, and the timing of loss in the family life cycle. Further research is strongly encouraged.

A Family Systems Perspective on Loss, Recovery and Resilience

While most attention to death and mourning has tended to focus on individual bereavement, a systemic perspective is required to understand how the loss of a family member reverberates throughout the family system with immediate and long-term consequences for family functioning and for all members and their subsequent relationships. This overview chapter presents a systemic framework to guide assessment and intervention. How the family faces death and deals with loss are crucial for healing; some are shattered while others are able to rebound. Discussion addresses family adaptational challenges, factors that pose complications and risk of dysfunction, and key interactional processes that encourage recovery and resilience.

Ethnicity, Families, and Family Business: Implications for Practitioners

Ethnicity is an important variable for practitioners in understanding family business systems, since ethnicity influences patterns of communication, values, relationships, and preferences in business practices.

The Multicultural Family Institute Remembers Betty Carter (May 13, 1929–September 11, 2012)

Betty Carter was a primary mentor of our Institute, the speaker at our Opening, and one of 16 founding members of our Culture Conference Faculty from our beginning in 1992 until her retirement. Betty was a magnificent, inspiring, brilliant teacher and my dear friend for more than 35 years. As a personality, she was larger than life—in her humor, her creativity, her mentoring of generations of family therapists, and of course her “Bettyisms”—turns of phrase that made us all recognize our foibles and realize what we had to do next. She had a knack for the one-liner:
