“…Around this time, Feminist Perspectives in Medical Family Therapy was published with articles that paid special attention to the role of gender and power dynamics in the medical environment (Bischof et al 2003;Dankoski 2003;Edwards and Patterson 2003;Hertlein 2003;Pratt 2003;Prouty Lyness 2003;Smith-Lamson and Hodgson 2003). Several largely favorable reviews of the compilation were published shortly thereafter (Burge 2005;Degges-White 2005;Oberman 2006;Rosenberg 2005;Trepal 2005).

Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) is a relatively young sub-specialty founded initially at the intersection of Family Therapy and Family Medicine. The purpose of this article is to synthesize and review scholarly literature covering almost 30 years of history, growth, and available research on MedFT. Eighty-two articles that met specific inclusion criteria were reviewed and the literature was categorized into four distinct themes: (a) Emergence of MedFT in the literature; (b) Contemporary MedFT skills and applications; (c) Punctuating the ''family therapy '' in MedFT; and (d) MedFT effectiveness and efficacy research. What was learned was that MedFT is growing so rapidly there is now a need for a current definition, identification of core curriculum standards and competencies for training, as well as a commitment to produce rigorous research on its effectiveness and efficacy. Recommendations to advance efforts across the foci are provided.
