The Journal of GLBT Family Studies is the first journal to address family issues and concerns important to GLBT individuals and their families of origin, as well as families formed in adulthood. This unique peer-reviewed journal examines parent-child relationships, child development, sibling relationships, family structure, intimate relationships, stepfamilies, alternative family structures, and extended family relationships. The journal's contributors present research findings on topics that range from family pattern issues relating to roles, rules, boundaries, and communication styles, to high risk issues, such as physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, HIV/AIDS, addiction, disclosure, homophobia, and heterosexism.

The Journal of GLBT Family Studies also examines:

• gender roles
• adoption issues
• work issues
• couple and relationship issues
• same-sex marriage
• sexual identity
• family policy
• and much more!

The Journal of GLBT Family Studies is the only scholarly forum to promote the study of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals and their families. Academics, researchers, and practitioners working in marriage and family therapy, lifespan development, counseling, social work, psychiatry, psychology, and human services will find this journal essential as an everyday resource.
