Seeking to encourage integration and growth in the multidisciplinary and international domains of inquiry that define contemporary family studies, Journal of Family Theory & Review (JFTR) publishes original contributions in all areas of family theory. The journal includes new advances in theory development, reviews of existing theory, and analyses of the interface of theory and method, as well as integrative and theory based reviews of content areas, and book reviews.

The PRI Library does not receive this journal, but it is available online through a Penn State University Libraries subscription.
