“…The prediction that the introduction of new half siblings will cause greater parent–child conflict than the introduction of new full siblings is a straightforward derivation of POCT (see Trivers, 1974). In contrast, FST (Doherty & Baptiste, 1993; Minuchin & Fishman, 1981) does not include biological relatedness in its theoretical tenets. Rather, FST views the family as a collection of integrated subsystems (e.g., marital subsystem, the parent–child subsystem), whereby changes in one subsystem reverberate to affect the family system as a whole.…”

Parent-offspring conflict theory (POCT) has been underutilized in studies of human family dynamics. An implication of POCT is that the presence of siblings will increase conflict in biological parent-child dyads, and that half siblings will increase that conflict more than full siblings. Evidence consistent with this prediction was found in a longitudinal study of 236 early adolescent children and their mothers. Following parental disruption, the entry of younger maternal half siblings into the home was uniquely associated with elevated conflict between mothers and their biological children, independent of the effects of family size, socioeconomic status, and maternal depression. As predicted by the model, the effect of parental disruption on mother-child conflict was partially mediated by the entry of half siblings (but not stepfathers) into the home.

“…As a discipline, we are comprised of more than just MFTs. This has historically been the case since the conception of the profession (Doherty & Baptiste, 1993), which may illustrate the inclusive nature of our work. While interdisciplinary collaboration may be essential, furthering our identity as a distinct profession is equally crucial and requires research to be conducted by professionals trained in the field (Crane et al, 2002).…”

“…Since the profession's beginnings in the late 1930s and early 1940s (Becvar & Becvar, ; Doherty & Baptiste, ), marriage and family therapy (MFT) scholars have been producing substantially more research (Sexton & Lebow, ). Additionally, researchers in our field utilize sophisticated methods to investigate relevant clinical issues (Sprenkle & Piercy, ) that are essential to address as a profession.…”

Reflecting on the Past: A Content Analysis of Family Therapy Research from 2000‐2015

In this content analysis, researchers examine articles published from 2000 to 2015 in three family therapy journals, yielding a total of 948 empirical articles. The purpose is to provide an overview of the research being published, assess who is publishing, and investigate the current state of clinical effectiveness research in marriage and family therapy (MFT). Most first authors were affiliated with MFT programs and primarily included diversity and couples in their research. There was a significant increase of research on clinical process-though the number of clinical outcome studies held steady. There were no significant changes with regard to research funding. Implications support the use of innovative research methods to provide evidence of clinical effectiveness.
