Couple and family therapy, and more broadly psychotherapy, have featured what often are competitive and contrasting views of effective practice. Furthermore, these different methods are often practiced in various places with few opportunities for connection across differing viewpoints. Dr. Jay Lebow has devoted much of his career to exploring ways to transcend differences in approaches and bring a strong basis in empirical evidence to practice.
Dr. Lebow has also edited for the last seven years Family Process, the most prominent journal in the history of couple and family therapy. During his tenure that journal has focused on publishing important research about couples and families, and important papers about clinical practice, always keeping in focus the relationship between science and practice.
