This year, NCFR celebrates the 10th anniversary of its Journal of Family Theory & Review (JFTR), the newest of the organization’s three scholarly journals. JFTR publishes original contributions in all areas of family theory, including advancing theories through critical and metatheoretical projects, and comprehensive reviews of literature and media.

Recently published early-view articles now available to subscribers are from an upcoming special issue, Revisioning Family Theories: Centering Race and Ethnicity, edited by Cheryl A. Buehler, Ph.D. and April L. Few-Demo, Ph.D.

If you're an NCFR member who subscribes to JFTR, log in to the NCFR website and visit the JFTR access webpage to read the full text of these articles on the website of our journal publisher, Wiley Blackwell. The March 2018 issue of JFTR is free and open to the public as a sample issue.
