“…Six articles and two book chapters (11% of works reviewed) utilized Oswald et al's () model in the context of practice or pedagogy (Few‐Demo, Humble, Curran, & Lloyd, ; Hudak & Giammattei, ; McGeorge & Carlson, ; McGeorge, Carlson, & Toomey, , ; Carlson, McGeorge, & Toomey, ; Nova, McGeorge, & Stone Carlson, ; Oswald, Kuvalanka, Blume, & Berkowitz, ).

More than a decade has passed since the first iterations of queer theory were introduced to the academic lexicon of family studies. Since then, queer theorizing of families has percolated gently through our field's journals and subdisciplines, informing research, practice, and pedagogy. As diversity continues to emerge within families, the 10th anniversary of Journal of Family Theory & Review provides a ripe opportunity to review the history of queer family theories, and the research they have framed and informed over the past 12 years. We present this information, summarize the foundational queer family model, discuss our critiques of it, and propose a new model to help guide research and practice with families in the decade to come.

In this article the contents of the principal English‐language family therapy journals and key family therapy articles published in other journals in 2013 are reviewed under these headings: models of family therapy, developments in family therapy practice, couple therapy, training, diversity, international developments, research and DSM‐5. Practitioner points Ecosystemic structural family therapy, FFT, MST, MDFT and other traditional systemic approaches, with recent adaptations, may be helpful for an increasing range of populations. Developments in research and practice support the value of father involvement in systemic therapy, conducting family therapy in medical settings and using family therapy to treat adolescent eating disorders. The integration of mindfulness into couple therapy, and new approaches to addressing infidelity are important developments to consider in treating couples.

“…For example, Lark and Croteau (1998) discussed the importance of mentors being a source of accurate and current information about climate and safety for their LGBT mentees. And, yet, it is simultaneously important for faculty to work to ensure acceptance and safety for a diverse student body (e.g., Edwards, Robertson, Smith, & O'Brien, 2014;McDowell, Brown, Cullen, & Duyn, 2013;McGeorge, Carlson, & Toomey, 2013;Nova, McGeorge, Carlson, 2013). In the current study, participants who self-defined as gay or lesbian reported that their mentors needed to improve their knowledge of the relevance of sexual orientation.…”
