“…A few studies have explored the relationship between DoS and family functioning; however, they did not focus on or report the structure or sexual orientation of the couple (Chung & Gale, ; Kim et al, , ). Family functioning, as a broad construct, represents the dynamics that exist within the family system, including the functioning of interpersonal relationships, togetherness, independence, family roles, familial communication, and patterns of behaviors used by family members to address life stressors (Miller et al, ).…”

This study used an actor–partner interdependence model to assess the relationship between differentiation of self and family functioning in a sample of 118 heterosexual Spanish couples, with additional attention to family structural correlates, including age of the children, number of children in the household, and educational level. Results showed a significant actor effect, with greater differentiation of self levels predicting better family functioning within individuals. Implications for mental health professionals regarding differentiation are provided.

“…Algumas pesquisas têm confirmado o pressuposto de Bowen (1978) referente à relação entre funcionamento familiar saudável e níveis elevados de diferenciação do self (Chung & Gale, 2008;Kim et al, 2014;Kim et al, 2015). Quando se trata especificamente da associação entre o construto de diferenciação do self e variáveis ligadas ao desenvolvimento de carreira, a literatura científica é escassa, mesmo no contexto internacional (Miller, Anderson & Keala, 2004).…”

“…Ao considerar as relações entre funcionamento familiar e diferenciação do self dos estudantes, observou-se que indivíduos mais diferenciados tendem a ser mais satisfeitos com a relação familiar, além de perceberem sua comunicação com a família de forma positiva, em conformidade com os resultados anteriormente obtidos por Kim et al (2014). Os universitários com níveis mais elevados de diferenciação do self também identificaram suas famílias como saudáveis, corroborando com os achados de outras investigações (Chang, 2018;Chung & Gale, 2008;Kim et al, 2015). A correlação positiva encontrada entre a coesão equilibrada e a flexibilidade equilibrada (dimensões positivas do funcionamento familiar) com o corte emocional sugere que o estabelecimento de limites claros entre os subsistemas familiares tende a facilitar o processo de diferenciação dos universitários, conforme premissas de Minuchin (1982) e Bowen (1978 (Amarnani et al, 2018;Guan et al, 2015;Guan et al, 2016;Han & Rojewski, 2015;Shulman et al, 2014).…”

ResumoEmbora a influência da família no desenvolvimento de carreira seja consolidada pela literatura científica, essa interface ainda é pouco explorada a partir da teoria familiar sistêmica, principalmente no contexto brasileiro. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as relações entre funcionamento familiar, diferenciação do self e adaptabilidade de carreira de universitários. A amostra foi composta por 800 estudantes de 70 cursos de graduação de universidades brasileiras, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 18 e 35 anos. Constatou-se que universitários com níveis mais elevados de diferenciação do self e adaptabilidade de carreira apresentaram maior equilíbrio entre coesão e flexibilidade na interação familiar e percepções positivas da comunicação e da satisfação em relação à família. Esses resultados podem contribuir para a elaboração de estratégias de intervenção por parte de profissionais na área da psicologia clínica, de aconselhamento de carreira e gestão universitária. Palavras-chave: adaptabilidade; aconselhamento de carreira; relações familiares. AbstractAlthough the influence of the family in the career development is consolidated for the scientific literature, this interface is still little explored through the systemic family theory, mainly in the Brazilian context. The objective of this study was to analyse the relations between family working, differentiation of self and career adaptability of university students. The sample was composed for 800 students of 70 graduation courses of Brazilian universities, of both sexes, with ages between 18 and 35. It was found that university students with more elevated levels of differentiation of self and career adaptability presented higher balance between cohesion and flexibility in family interaction, and positive perceptions of communication and satisfaction in relation to the family. These results can contribute for the elaboration of intervention strategies by clinic psychology professionals, career counseling and university management.

EditorAs I write this, the U.S. presidential primary season is in full swing and March Madness (the U.S. college basketball championships) is beginning too. There is plenty of testosterone-fueled, mean-spirited rhetoric and chest thumping in the air. Bullying and in-your-face victory dancing have become something of a trend. To paraphrase Eugene Robinson, the Washington Post columnist: If America was a person, you would sedate it and maybe even have it committed. Indeed, societal incivility seems to be on the increase, diminishing us all (Piercy et al., 2013).In contrast, our profession stands for a greater good because our job is to lift up, not tear down. As marriage and family therapists, we try to help family members see the best in themselves and in one another. In this issue, we celebrate this by honoring those in our field. It is my pleasure to again tip our collective hats to the best of the best-the best JMFT articles of 2015.This is the third year of our emerging tradition honoring one or two articles for their overall quality, meaningfulness, creativity, and promise to advance our field. For 2015, my editorial council and I again went through an elaborate nomination and rating process to determine the JMFT 2015 Best Article of the Year and, again, came up with two winners. One is The Norway Couple Project: Lessons Learned by Jacqueline Sparks of the University of Rhode Island. In this article, Sparks narrowed the research/practice gap by translating the results of five large studies into specific guidelines for routine, eclectic practice. Her research-informed template for improving couple therapy outcomes included attention to client feedback, the therapeutic alliance, couple goals assessment, and therapist experience in couple therapy (Sparks, 2015). Below are a few comments from JMFT Editorial Council members regarding this article:• This article does an excellent job of bridging the gap between research and practice. The
