My hope for this Family Science Report column is to convey to you how NCFR is advancing policy, career resources, research, the discipline of family science, including family life education and more, one topic at a time. For the first installment, I'd like to share updates regarding NCFR's policy initiatives.
Greetings from the Family Therapy Section! The conference this year will be an exciting one as the Family Therapy Section celebrates its 75th anniversary.
In the winter 2013 issue of Report, I talked about the future of family science and how there was less clarity and certainty around what we call our field — in part because it lacked a uniform identity. Members have continued to discuss this issue with interest, and as a result we will move forward into formal work aimed at resolving the identity crisis of the field as a whole.
