“…How families established closeness within the constraints of husbands’ work schedules suggested certain “lessons” relating to the concept of equifinality (Becvar & Becvar, 2000; Galvin et al, 2004; Haley & Richeport‐Haley, 2003). Regardless of the husbands’ work schedules, families can determine their own family rhythms, consciously structuring activities and interactions at less stressful times and being sensitive to when and where issues need to be addressed.…”

“…Clearing the air regularly may help. The systems concepts of family myths (e.g., “We don’t worry about him”) and metacommunication (the ability to talk about communication) might be revealed through a family systems therapist (Becvar & Becvar, 2000; Galvin et al, 2004; Haley & Richeport‐Haley, 2003). Negotiating giving and receiving support, with sensitivity to issues of gender as they are magnified in the context of extended absences, could be helpful (McGoldrick et al, 1991).…”

“…This ''role switching'' is analogous to the trucking ''ride along'' program; this husband became sensitized to his wife's family work activities. Not surprisingly, family systems therapists sometimes prescribe role switching inside families and have described its benefits (Haley & Richeport-Haley, 2003).…”

This study explores how family members experience their lives when family breadwinners must be absent from home because of their jobs. Informed by general systems theory and contextual perspectives, we described wives' family work that supports the breadwinner role and maintains the emotional connections among family members. From our findings about how families of commercial fishermen and long-haul truckers manage their time and their paid and unpaid work, we applied their challenges and strategies to other families experiencing difficulties related to time and work involvement.

“…Nonviolent resistance has more recently been adapted for various other contexts including violence against women (Schmidt, 1995) and aggressive behaviors of children and adolescents (Omer, 2001(Omer, , 2004. While other approaches, such as Strategic Therapy (Haley & Richeport-Haley, 2003), cognitive behavioral family therapy (Dattilio & Epstein, 2005), and other behavioral approaches (Kazdin, 1997), share with NVR a focus on practical, limited goals and directive interventions by the therapist, NVR draws on unique philosophical roots, which lead to particular steps and implementations.…”

"Adult entitled dependence" is a condition characterized by the extreme dependence of grown children on their family and by levels of dysfunction, seemingly excessive in light of their apparent capacity to function. The family and the dependent adult become involved in an interaction in which the very attempts to alleviate the problem may aggravate it. Parent-training in nonviolent resistance (NVR) is an intervention that has been shown to be helpful to parents of behaviorally disturbed youth. Parent training in NVR offers parents means to shift away from a stance of helplessness toward realistic goals that are accomplishable without the collaboration of their offspring. We report on the parents of 27 entitled dependent grown children who participated in parent training in NVR. Additionally, we present 2 detailed case studies that exemplify the problem and the therapeutic process. Before treatment, the dependent adults were not working or studying, drew heavily on parental services (financial or otherwise), and were resistant to parental attempts to change the situation. Most parents succeeded in overcoming their helplessness and reducing the provision of parental services. In a considerable proportion of cases, the grown children started working or studying or moved to independent lodgings.

“…He genuinely cared about them and was deeply committed to helping them change. He often talked of how people analyze the lives of clients and how to understand them over long periods of time but failed to come up with ways of helping them change (Haley, 2001; Haley & Richeport‐Haley, 2003). It is easy for students to get focused on many good things in doctoral programs such as scholarship, social justice, politics, innovative ways of understanding the human condition, etc., and forget that the discipline of MFT is about helping clients improve their lives through using relationships to help them make lasting positive changes.…”

Doctoral education in marital and family therapy (MFT) plays a crucial role in the future of the field. In this article, I write about the purposes, diversities, and futures of MFT doctoral education from the perspective of having hired 18 full-time MFT faculty over the last 13 years. I argue that the field needs well-rounded doctoral-level academics and clinicians who have a solid understanding of the foundations of the field and have mastery around theory, clinical practice, and scholarship in order to advance the profession of Marriage and Family Therapy.
