ABSTRACT A mixed method study explored the attitudes and wishes of Arab first-generation immigrants (n = 86) in Canada regarding marital therapy. Results suggested positive attitudes toward seeking marital therapy, and overall attitudes significantly related to the likelihood of seeking marital therapy. Orientation to Canadian or Arab culture was associated with positive or negative attitudes toward marital therapy. Thematic analysis suggested participants wished counselors understood cultural norms and its impact on marriage, religious beliefs, native language, and shame and stigma toward counseling, while using a straightforward counseling style. Participants wished to improve communication, resolve marital conflict, have a supportive third-party, and acculturation support. Recommendations from this study for clinicians include building foundational understanding of the Arab culture, challenging bias, updating knowledge, assessing couple’s acculturation, and connecting with communities and religious leaders to inform them of counseling services.

ABSTRACT In 2017, the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education implemented updated accreditation standards requiring course credits educating students on issues related to diversity, power, privilege, and oppression. This qualitative study explored students’ required diversity curricula experiences from accredited C/MFT master’s programs. Semi-structured interviews with master’s students (n = 20) from programs across 11 US states were conducted. Thematic analysis revealed 3 key themes which impacted student learning experiences: perceptions of safety, course materials and structure, and systemic influences. Study participants emphasized the importance of quality diversity education and provided valuable feedback on how to improve course development in accredited masters C/MFT programs.

ABSTRACT Parents of non-binary children undergo profound changes as they learn to first understand and then support their child. The question guiding this study was: what are the stories parents of non-binary children tell about how they came to understand and affirm their child? This narrative study provides a definition of non-binary gender, a review of peer-reviewed literature on therapy with children and adolescents who identify as transgender or non-binary, as well as narrative findings from three mothers of non-binary children ages 8 −11. Stories of parents confronting core beliefs, stepping into leadership, and feeling like they do not fit in or belong in ostensibly supportive spaces are presented. Relevance to narrative therapy is highlighted as well as the need for more research on family processes that enact support for transgender and non-binary children.

ABSTRACT The process of family formation for female partners is unique. Little research, outside of the nursing literature, has been conducted to help counselors address the needs of female partners. In this qualitative study, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was utilized to (a) explore the experiences of female partners receiving third-party fertility treatments during family formation and (b) examine the role of counseling in the process. A total of six participants, three couples, participated in this study. Three themes emerged: family preparation, family issues, and counselor competency. Recommendations and directions for future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT The first of this two-part article series presents results from an analysis of how Couple and Family Therapists (CFTs) became more aware of their privileges. This second part specifically explores the clinical implications of privilege awareness on the therapeutic work of CFTs. CFTs participated in semi-structured interviews and identified common themes by which their privilege awareness influenced their clinical work: intrapersonal cultural attunement, interpersonal cultural attunement, socio-cultural theoretical attunement, and systemic attunement to policies and procedures. Using these identified themes, clinical implications for training and practice will be provided, including recommended questions for discussion as part of the process. Training programs and supervisors can utilize the following results and implications of part one and two of this series to consider the importance of facilitating the privilege awareness process as they help students build multicultural competencies.

ABSTRACT This article serves as an introduction to Karen Barad’s agential realism, a feminist new materialist theory, employing her theoretical tenets to explore how this framework matters for marriage and family therapists, particularly regarding the treatment of trauma and traumatic stress. Entangling Barad’s agential realism with systems theory, this article considers how marriage and family therapists intra-act with traumatized clients to produce different becomings. In particular, this article explores how power and oppression are performed and reinforced to perpetuate traumatic stress, and puts forth recommendations for how this theoretical orientation can aid marriage and family therapists in embodying a feminist and just therapeutic approach for understanding, diagnosing, and treating traumatic stress. Employing a case example of the incarceration of Japanese Americans following Pearl Harbor, traumatic stress is conceptualized as a material-discursive phenomenon, opening possibilities for thinking trauma and healing differently. Clinical intra-ventions are put forth in contrast to therapeutic interventions, underscoring re-membering as a re-turn to the material in the work of systemic, feminist-informed trauma treatments.

ABSTRACT In a qualitative exploration of privilege awareness for couple and family therapists (CFTs), findings provided information on two levels of processes presented in two articles as part of a series. This first article broadens the scope of privilege awareness of couple and family therapists (CFTs) to include any identity that holds power in society. CFTs were asked to complete timelines of privilege awareness experiences and participate in a semi-structured interview. In total, 12 therapists were interviewed. Thematic analysis revealed that the influence of close relationships on the process was a consistent theme that facilitated the privilege awareness process. Other common themes included exposure to diverse populations and experiences, processing emotions like guilt, shame, and anger, reconciling the privilege awareness process through evaluating the past, and seeing privilege awareness as a constantly evolving process. Findings provide groundwork for a theoretical model of privilege awareness raising in clinical training settings. Clinical and training implications are discussed in greater length in part two of this article series.

ABSTRACT Historically, female characters in comic books have largely been assigned to supporting roles, dressed to cater to the male gaze, or sometimes disregarded as mere plot devices to advance the stories of male characters. In more recent years, this has started to change with a select number of female characters’ stories being highlighted by major blockbuster releases. This article will explore the way that female representation has evolved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the past decade, with special focus on three key scenes in Marvel’s The Avengers, Captain Marvel, and WandaVision that reflect an evolution in the way that female emotions are handled within the narrative of these franchises. Discussion will be given to the way these pop culture messages influence the work that feminist therapists do with clients from a narrative perspective.

ABSTRACT Racism and white supremacy are deeply entrenched in the fabric of the United States. Although race is a social construct, it has real consequences on people’s lives that cannot and should not be ignored. Race plays a significant role in how we view ourselves as racial beings. So much of who we are is shaped by our racial and ethnic identity. Children’s racial and ethnic culture shape how they see themselves in the world and greatly influences their sense of self and identity. As racial tensions increase in our society and the backlash to racial equity is continually challenged, conversations about race and racism are necessary in multiple contexts. These conversations are particularly important to have in our families as all parents have a responsibility in raising the next generation of children that are equipped to challenge racism and deconstruct white supremacy.
