Queer-Contextualized Family Therapy: Toward Radically Inclusive Theory and Practice offers a groundbreaking reimagining of foundational family therapy models through an intersectional queer lens. In this essential volume, the authors chart a transformative path forward for relational and systemic therapy that affirms, honors, and centers queer and trans lives.

More than critique, this book introduces an innovative approach to update and revise any therapeutic theory. This new framework—queer-contextualizing—is applied to specific family therapy models, providing a compelling blend of scholarly insight and practical, tangible strategies for real-world application.

Designed for experienced therapists, students in training, and educators shaping the future of the field, this book stands as both an essential resource and an inspirational call to action. With its bold, expansive vision, Queer-Contextualized Family Therapy redefines what it means to do ethical, inclusive, and culturally attuned clinical work in the 21st century.
