The group aims to: (a) promote scientific research on the processes and outcomes of a wide range of child and family therapies (including parent-infant psychotherapy, adolescent therapy etc.); (b) facilitate collaboration among members in planning, discussion, and conduct of methodologically sound, theoretically balanced, and clinically relevant studies on child and family therapies; and (c) support the dissemination of research-based knowledge about child and family therapies for the benefit of scientific, clinical, and mental health policy communities. Founding year of the interest group 2012 Activities of the interest group The intended activities of the interest group include (a) promoting research panels, workshops and discussion groups at annual international and regional SPR conferences, (b) maintaining a page on the SPR website in order to inform CaFTR members and other interested persons about these activities, (c) encouraging collaborative research on topics related to issues of child and family therapy research among CaFTR members, and (d) developing contacts and liaisons with other scientific and scholarly organizations having similar interests. The CaFTR steering group carried out a survey of members of the CaFTR forum, providing an overview of current activity, areas of interest, research priorities etc. The findings are summarized here. From this survey we created a list of researchers with their current activity, areas of interest, research priorities. The list will be send around the forum once a year. If you have any changes to an existing entry, or would like a copy of the list, please contact Katharina.weitkamp@gmx.net. If you would like to be added to the list, please fill out this form and send it to Katharina Weitkamp.
