ABSTRACT The primary purpose of this study was to understand the life satisfaction experienced by childfree women over the age of 65, considering some assumption in society that parenthood is the best path to fulfillment. This study used a qualitative-dominant approach to look at the life satisfaction experiences of 14 childfree women over the age of 65 using semi-structured interview questions while furthering results with the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Participants included women gathered through community agencies in South Florida. A thematic analysis was used to analyze data from the interviews while basic SPSS calculations were used to calculate measures of central tendency. 13 of the 14 women reported life satisfaction in interviews, which was consistent with their scores on the SWLS. This study updates the literature that examines the life fulfillment of those who do not have children. Most specifically, it furthers the understanding of how those who have remained childfree feel in the final stages of their lives.

ABSTRACT This reflexive thematic qualitative study explored the meaningful experiences of 24 masters’ level clinical interns from diverse intersecting social locations about their experiences being trained during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus two (COVID-19) pandemic. Although there is a robust body of literature on the pivot many interns made to using telehealth, less is known about educating and supporting therapists-in-training holistically during a global pandemic. Researchers used an open-ended survey to ask current students and recent graduates who were enrolled in accredited clinical training programs during the COVID-19 pandemic about their experiences and recommendations regarding future training. Four themes delineated the crosscurrents of participants’ experiences. Participants articulated the benefits and hardships of being trained during a pandemic. They were lonely and longed for connection from the professional community and peers. Interns wrote about the importance of establishing and maintaining boundaries and attending to self-care. Using a feminist hermeneutic of participants’ voices, we offer collaborative recommendations for training programs and their governing bodies to prepare for future regional, national, or global crises (e.g., codifying self-care and supervision requirements for interns who work from home).

ABSTRACT The family model of single mothers by choice (SMCs) is spreading in western industrial nations in the last 30 decades. Since gender equality and new methods in reproductive medicine do not sufficiently explain this phenomenon, this exploratory quantitative study investigates the psychological factors of SMCs assessing attachment style, social support, and Big Five personality traits issuing an online survey to 131 SMCs. In addition, this study aims to gather information about SMCs in German-speaking countries to close a research gap. Findings indicate similarities in characteristics between German-speaking SMCs and internationally reported SMCs. Independent-samples t-tests showed significant differences from the corresponding German norm sample in personality traits (conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience), attachment style, and social support.

ABSTRACT Dr. Knudson-Martin is a prolific researcher, educator, presenter, editor, and clinician in feminist family therapy, currently serving as Professor Emerita at Lewis & Clark College. Her work includes over 100 publications (books, book chapters, and refereed articles) and over 120 professional presentations (invited and refereed). Accolades include recognition as one of the most influential papers published in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy (1975–2011), the Anselm Strauss Award (with Dana Matta) for Best Family Qualitative Research (2007), and the Distinguished Contribution to Family Therapy Theory and Practice Award from American Family Therapy Academy (2017). Along with Douglas Huenergardt and a clinical research team, Dr. Knudson-Martin, founded Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT), which focuses on the intersection of emotion, power, and sociocultural contexts in the micro-processes of couple interactions. This interview focused candidly on how Dr. Knudson-Martin’s understanding of feminism changed over the years, her views on barriers faced by feminist researchers, and the strong influence collaborative relationships in academia have had on her career. Contextualizing her evolved understanding of feminism, Dr. Knudson-Martin reflected on her past research that divided the concept of gender into three elements (power, culture, and process) and how her own privilege initially restricted her understanding of feminism. Finally, Dr. Knudson-Martin highlighted the importance of working across disciplines to broaden perspectives, bridge theoretical divides, and begin with an intersectional lens rather than secondary consideration of identity as “an add-on.”

She shared her perspective of intersectionality in contemporary feminist family therapy practice and education.

ABSTRACT We conducted a systematic review of research into transgender and gender non-conforming people’s experiences of psychological therapy. Ten studies were subjected to a thematic meta-synthesis, resulting in two analytic themes and five subthemes. One theme was concerned with participants’ experiences of how gender was approached in therapy, including experiences of it being overemphasized, ignored, or pathologized. The second theme related to participants’ views on their therapists’ identities, and their approaches to therapeutic work and social action. We argue that therapists should be mindful of issues of power in the co-creation of therapeutic relationships and that therapists should discuss with clients about whether and how gender is discussed within therapy.

ABSTRACT For relational therapists who are acutely aware of male privilege, working with male clients may be challenging, including in (but not limited to) couple and family therapy. This challenge may be particularly true for beginning therapists. This paper outlines a guide to working in relational therapy with male clients from a gender-critical and socio-culturally attuned perspective. To this aim, the paper first summarizes a framework for gender-critical therapists to work with male clients. It then outlines recommendations based on the clients’ level of endorsement or relationship to gender-normative masculinity (i.e., stereotypical, challenged, and disempowered relationship to masculinity). In the final sections, clinical vignettes show the application of some of these recommendations. This guide will benefit relational therapists who are questioning their ability to work with male clients in an inclusive fashion while remaining truthful to their gender-critical views.

To this aim, the paper first summarizes a framework for gender-critical therapists to work with male clients. It then outlines recommendations based on the clients’ level of endorsement or relationship to gender-normative masculinity (i.e., stereotypical, challenged, and disempowered relationship to masculinity). In the final sections, clinical vignettes show the application of some of these recommendations. This guide will benefit relational therapists who are questioning their ability to work with male clients in an inclusive fashion while remaining truthful to their gender-critical views.","PeriodicalId":44214,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF FEMINIST FAMILY THERAPY","volume":"34 1","pages":"178 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46773463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
