Family Process (FP)

Family Process is one of the premier and longest-standing journals in the field of family studies and family therapy, first published in 1962 and consistently issued quarterly. It serves as a multidisciplinary international forum for high-quality scholarly research that advances theory, research, and clinical practice in family systems and relationships. The journal’s broad scope integrates perspectives from family psychology, clinical psychology, social sciences, and systemic therapy, making it relevant to both researchers and practitioners. Articles published in Family Process include original empirical research, conceptual and theoretical frameworks, qualitative and quantitative studies, and reports on training and interventions that address family interaction patterns, relational dynamics, and systemic approaches to therapy. A unique strength of the journal is its emphasis on the interaction between research and practice, encouraging contributions that bridge theoretical innovation with practical guidance for family professionals. Over decades, Family Process has maintained a reputation for being at the forefront of exploring complex family phenomena — including coparenting dynamics, cultural influences, therapeutic models, systemic interventions, and policy-relevant research — and has expanded its accessibility by publishing abstracts in Spanish and Chinese alongside English content. The journal’s international editorial advisory board reflects its commitment to worldwide relevance and scholarly excellence.
