ANZJFT

The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy

A journal for practitioners and academics

The ANZJFT is reputed to be the most-stolen professional journal in Australia! It is read by clinicians as well as by academics, and each issue includes substantial papers reflecting original perspectives on theory and practice.

With Michael White as its first Editor from 1979 to 1984, the Australian Journal of Family Therapy established a proud tradition of theoretical speculation, humour and the celebration of clinical success. Under its second Editor, Max Cornwell (1985-1996), the journal widened and deepened to become a refereed journal of international standard, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy . Editors Hugh Crago and Maureen Crago (1997-2008) worked tirelessly and nurtured countless new authors over many years, and Paul Rhodes, Glenn Larner, and Alistair Campbell (2008-2010) worked to produce a lean and sharp journal, with a focus on integrating evidence-based research with systemic theory and practice in the field.

The current Editor, Glenn Larner continues to build on this foundation, harnessing talents and resources on the local scene and soliciting contributions from key international figures. Today the journal, known as the ANZJFT , aims to represent family therapy, as well as other therapy approaches that can broadly be described as relational, systemic or contextual. It continues to publish on topics of research, practice and theory, with a special ambition to showcase reader-friendly papers relevant to all family-sensitive practice.

All articles are blind refereed and peer reviewed.

The ANZJFT is in the process of becoming the publication journal for the newly formed Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT).

The editor of ANZJFT welcomes submissions from scholars, researchers, educators and practicing family therapists. ANZJFT seeks to provide a space for you to share your experiences, reflections, ideas and insights. The development of the field depends on this vital exchange, and we therefore strongly encourage submissions from authors on a range of topics including theory, training, supervision, research and practice in family therapy.
