Abstract
ABSTRACT Gender and sex influence health and medicine in various ways (i.e., etiology, treatment, progression of disease, etc.). Currently, a cisnormative, transnormative, and transmisogynist system pervades the medical and mental health fields, creating significant barriers for, trans women to access adequate and inclusive healthcare. We present a transfeminist-informed biopsychosocial approach for medical family therapists to address the disparities and gaps that exist for, trans women. Through integrating a transfeminist praxis, we discuss how medical family therapists can serve as collaborators, students, and advocates for the, trans women in their care.

The journal presents thought-provoking and insightful articles of a theoretical nature, as well as articles focusing on empirical research and clinical application. The Journal of Feminist Family Therapy critiques family therapy concepts from a feminist perspective with careful attention to cultural, class, and racial differences, applies a feminist-sensitive perspective to the treatment issues particular to women such as depression, agoraphobia, eating disorders, incest, and domestic abuse, etc.
