About this journal
Aims and scope
The Journal of Feminist Family Therapy ( JFFT) provides an international forum to further explore the relationship between feminist theory and family therapy theory and practice. The journal presents thought-provoking and insightful theoretical papers and empirical research related to feminism and/or gender, sexual identity, race, culture, power, privilege, and oppression and their multiple intersections. Our mission is to highlight feminist tenets through a social justice lens with the goal of socially responsible practice as family therapists.
An important resource for scholars and practitioners, JFFT views family therapy concepts from a feminist perspective while paying careful attention to cultural and contextual differences across social identities such as race, class, religion, spirituality, age, ethnicity, nationality, disability, health status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and/or political beliefs, language, immigration status, or other relevant social categories. It also applies a feminist-sensitive perspective to treatment issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, divorce, and relational problems.
JFFT encourages both national and international scholars to share their knowledge, experiences, and research findings through online manuscript submissions. JFFT recognizes that manuscript structure and style can vary across training, institutions, and academic cultures around the globe. Therefore, brief guidelines for how to submit a manuscript using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7 th Edition (APA 7 th) format are included in the

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
