About the journal
Family Process is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing original articles, including theory and practice, philosophical underpinnings, qualitative and quantitative clinical research, and training in couple and family therapy, family interaction, and family relationships with networks and larger systems.
Since its inception over four decades ago, Family Process has become a major resource for mental health and social service professionals who are seeking cutting edge research and clinical ideas about family and systems theory and practice.
- The editorial advisory board comprises outstanding thinkers, researchers and practitioners drawn from an international arena, reflecting our intention and capacity to publish articles with world wide relevance.
- Articles are expected to be both scholarly and accessible, and written in jargon-free prose.
- The journal strives for a dynamic interaction between theory/practice and research, such that articles on theory and practice inform future research, and research articles contribute to the development of meaningful theory and practice.
- The Family Process Institute web site, www.familyprocess.org, promotes an open forum for interactive dialogue based on journal content.
- Guidelines for submissions to Family Process may be found by clicking on the "For Authors" link on the left, as well as in every issue of the journal.

Manuscripts should be sent to:
Evan Imber-Black, Ph.D. Editor, Family Process Ackerman Institute for the Family 149 E. 78th Street New York, NY 10021 Tel: (212) 879-4900, Ext. 153 Fax: (212) 744-0206 E-mail: editor@FamilyProcess.org
General Requirements: In a cover letter, please include the word count of the article, and the address, phone number, and if possible, fax and e-mail address of the principle author. Authors will be advised of the decision about their manuscripts as rapidly as possible. Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they are not being submitted simultaneously to another publication.
Authors are requested to prepare their articles in conformity to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (refer to previous issues for reference). Papers should be written clearly and concisely, using gender-neutral language and jargon-free prose. Brevity is also desirable. Manuscripts should not exceed 6,000 words (including tables and references). All case reports should protect patient confidentiality.
Typing: Manuscripts (original and 4 copies) should be on white bond paper, double-spaced throughout, and with 1-1/2 inch margins. A copy of the manuscript on an IBM compatible disk in text only format (.txt) should be included with the initial submission. Files submitted in Wordperfect or Microsoft Word format are encouraged. In either case, the author is advised to keep a copy for checking against page proofs. Upon acceptance, authors will be expected to provide the final manuscript on disk.
Authors: Because Family Process uses a blind review system, a separate cover page should be used to provide identifying information about the authors. The authors' names should not be included on subsequent pages. For each author, give professional degree/title, and name and location of the principal institutional affiliation, and complete mailing address of the principal author; the latter will appear in a footnote on page 1 of the article if accepted. Upon acceptance, the principal author will receive a copyright transfer form and an off-print order form. These must be returned immediately upon receipt. In addition to the principal author's address, also include the address for all other authors to receive complimentary copies of the issue.
Acknowledgements: Any listing of grant support or special appreciation that the authors wish to include should be included on the cover page. If the article is accepted for publication, this information will appear in another footnote on page 1.
Opening Summary: For full-length articles, the author should include an abstract of approximately 200-250 words. Research articles should use the standard categories of introduction, methods, results and discussion. In articles describing theory, training or clinical interventions, the abstract should make it possible for the reader to have a brief overview of all relevant aspects of the work, including the intent, scope, general procedures, and principal conclusions. For brief reports, these summaries should be similar in content, but limited to 100 words.
References: An important responsibility of the author is the preparation of a correct reference list, double spaced and located at the end of the article. References should be checked against original sources.
References in Text: First citation may include up to 4 names (NB: et al. = "and others"); more than 4, cite first 3, et al., date. Subsequent citations: include dual authors; more than 2, cite first surname et al., date. Serial listings: alphabetize by surname of first author.
Reference List: Alphabetize by surname; list all authors; spell out journal names: abbreviations for journals and shortcuts (ibid., op. Cit.) are not acceptable. (See following examples.)

Copy Editing, Proofs, and Off-print/Reprint Orders: After an article has been accepted for publication, it is copy-edited for literary style, conformity to the style of this journal, clarity of presentation, coherence, punctuation, standard usage of terms, spelling, etc. After the article is typeset authors may be charged for any changes they wish to make. The author will receive page-proofs from the printer, together with an Off-Print/Reprint order form that must be returned within 10 days of receipt.
Occasionally, and with the author's permission, an article that has been accepted will be followed by an invited commentary to which the author may submit a rejoinder. The author's unwillingness to participate in this process will in no way affect the publication of an accepted article.
