Overview
Using Home - Library - LibGuides at National University only, you are required to locate a total of seven sources, including five peer-reviewed journal articles, one book chapter, and one other scholarly or professional resource (an MFT-related website or another resource).
Given that your research should focus on an issue relevant to the practice of MFT, you might find it helpful to review and search articles in the following journals:
- American Journal of Family Therapy
- Families, Systems, and Health
- Family Process
- International Journal of Narrative Therapy
- Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy
- Journal of Family Psychotherapy
- Journal of Family Therapy
- Journal of Feminist Family Therapy
- Journal of Marital and Family Therapy
