ABSTRACT The prevalence of custodial grandparenting in the United States and other Western countries has increased in the past decade. Custodial grandparents face challenges including navigating painful personal relationships and caring for children with trauma histories. These challenges may be exacerbated for custodial grandmothers, particularly African American custodial grandmothers, due to existing racial stereotypes and gendered expectations about parenting. Family therapy is uniquely suited to providing support to custodial grandparents and their families. This scoping review examined the current literature on interventions with custodial grandparents to assess sensitivity to issues related to race and gender. Twelve studies are reviewed, and prominent themes are identified and discussed. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT A breast cancer diagnosis presents daunting challenges and disruptions to everyday life for family members and caregivers of breast cancer survivors (BCS). Particularly critical to families are their coping mechanisms, patterns of resiliency, and resource availability to navigate such a transformational experience. Family therapy and family therapists can introduce vulnerable families to a variety of clinical interventions that can be helpful in reducing the distress engendered by a breast cancer diagnosis. This manuscript describes clinical dynamics, considerations, and interventions that can be utilized with families of breast cancer survivors. Implications for practice, limitations, and ideas for future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT A breast cancer diagnosis can lead to life-altering biopsychosocial changes and challenges for breast cancer survivors (BCS). Particularly salient is body image perception and its associated biopsychosocial ramifications. This manuscript examined the impact of breast cancer on women’s body image, including women of color and lesbians. The information was contextualized through the application of feminist theory principles. Interventions and implications for breast cancer survivors (BCS) were discussed utilizing feminist theory.

ABSTRACT In this article, the complexity of the grieving process of the caregiver and her partner is discussed. Through an autoethnography, the author gives a voice to her personal story about her wife’s diagnosis of endometrial cancer, her prognosis and the specialized considerations of a lesbian couple in the health care system. In order to understand the experiences of a lesbian couple’s journey while interacting with the health care system, this autoethnography was written from a first-person perspective. Through the use of art, journal entries, and bicycle riding to navigate this journey, this unique study expands the conversation to include a systemic understanding of the effects of terminal illnesses on intimate relationships.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this Delphi pilot study was to 1) identify potential benefits to people who experienced perinatal loss if a term were established; 2) develop a term for people who experienced a perinatal loss because, at present, no term exists; and, 3) identify areas of consensus and contention between perinatal loss professionals and parents when considering terminology. Fifty-five participants (perinatal loss professionals, n = 33; perinatally bereaved parents, n = 22) proposed, reviewed, and rated terms through three rounds of surveys until bereaved parent was selected. Top terms were equally preferred between parents and professionals and, in general, participants described benefits to term development. Findings provide the perinatal loss community a first step in considering terminology.

ABSTRACT Gender inequality is a critical phenomenon in Turkey due to being placed at the bottom of The Global Gender Gap Reports. The aim of this study was to understand couple and family therapists’ perceptions and experiences when gender-related topics and gendered dynamics emerged in couple therapy sessions. Interview data were collected from seven female therapists who worked in private practices in Istanbul, Turkey. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to guide the research methods and analyze the data. Results indicated four main themes: (a) gender issues emerging in couple therapy, (b) gender roles as a junction point of universal and local issues, (c) therapists’ dilemmas in therapy, and (d) therapists’ relationships with feminism. Results are discussed in the light of existing literature and in terms of clinical and training implications.

ABSTRACT In this narrative inquiry/reflexivity piece, the author discusses their own emotions, thoughts, feelings, and relationships as related to dominant patriarchy and related rape culture in the context of a keynote speech they gave five years ago. This speech was originally delivered at a university based “Take Back the Night” gathering and march. This is followed up with a current update on their experiences as they relate to the post-rape age. The piece concludes with a comment on the changes in society in the context of challenging cisgenderism and rise of the “Me Too Movement.”
