“…In particular, Gregory Bateson's (1972Bateson's ( , 1979 linking of ecology and systemic thinking and rejection of the separation of humans from nature is viewed as foundational by many authors (e.g. Casey, 2002;Duncan, 2018Duncan, , 2021Kearney, 2013Kearney, , 2021Kearney, , 2022Laszloffy, 2009;Palmer, 2021).…”

“…Engagement with E&CE in family therapy has come at the margins. Casey's seminal articles ‘Therapy on an Exhausted Planet’ (Casey, 2000) and ‘Therapy and Ecology: Viewing the Natural World Through Systemic Lenses’ (Casey, 2002) remain relevant but peripheral. Since 2009 Lazloffy has outlined the importance of family therapy incorporating the environment and offered ways practice and training might do this, comprehensively outlined in Laszloffy and Twist (2019).…”

We are facing devastating effects of the climate emergency and systemic environmental breakdown. These impact on mental health and wellbeing. Family therapy has only marginally engaged with these crises and the relationship between people and ecosystem. This Delphi survey identifies key elements to include in family therapy training to attend to the ecosystem and the climate and ecological emergencies. Participants generated ninety‐six statements that were clustered into six overarching ‘topic areas’ (theories, orientations, schools, integrations/transformations, methods, and techniques). There were sixty‐six statements agreed at a high level of consensus and seventeen with a moderate level of consensus, while there was no consensus over the remaining thirteen items. All participants opted to suggest references, which form a reading list to accompany these ideas.

“…The success of this policy has been limited. Authors from outside of family therapy have not, by and large, seen the publication of their papers by the ANZJFT as a twoway thing; and articles that address broader societal concerns (Casey, 2000(Casey, , 2002Mackenzie, 2002) have attracted some less than positive responses ('not family therapy'; 'has no place in our journal'). And, while the term 'family therapy' may signal to some non-readers that we stand for right wing, fundamentalist Christian values, simply changing the name does not seem to have persuaded 'outsiders' that the journal is worth their attention.…”

This article presents a series of ‘snapshots’ of the history of the journal now known as the ANZJFT (Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy). While a full, detailed history of the journal from its inception is beyond the scope of this paper, the authors offer glimpses of the journal at key points in its 25‐year history, and from these, readers can reconstruct some of the changes that have occurred, and the continuities in values and attitudes that the ANZJFT has attempted to preserve, throughout its existence. The authors comment, from their own recent experience, on particular dilemmas, which they have faced, and use their own data to update a bibliometric survey of the journal originally carried out by Davis and Lipson (1996).

Australian Family Therapy: Have We Lived Up To Our Mission Statement?

In 1983 the Fourth Australian Family Therapy Conference had the theme ‘Merging the Streams — Integrating Trends in Family Therapy’. In his keynote address Brian Stagoll outlined concerns regarding the nature of family therapy as it was then developing in Australia. This article revisits some of these themes to see where we have come from, where we are heading and which topics continue to be ignored. Evidence is drawn from articles that stood out for me in the Australian Journal of Family Therapy (later the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy) and selected relevant papers from the 1983 conference itself. Finally, I speculate upon possible reasons for the absence of discussion on certain issues, most strikingly: systemic influences upon indigenous Australians, farm families, working with children in families, certain aspects of gender, the systemic implications of addiction; and environmental impacts on families now and for the future. The danger for family therapy is becoming stuck in a closed system that ignores the wider system.
