About Us

The FTSRC develops, supports and promotes research in the systemic family therapy field, as a complement to the work of the Academic & Research Committee of the Association for Family Therapy.

We are based at the Tavistock Clinic, an NHS Foundation Trust and national centre of training, where a well-established and thriving doctoral research programme for qualified systemic psychotherapists has been running for over a decade.

• We are creating a comprehensive database of research undertaken by, and relevant to, systemic and family therapists.
• We circulate information about family therapy research seminars, conferences and funding opportunities. (To join our distribution list, click here).
• We organise seminars and workshops to promote and develop new research ideas and methodologies, to encourage first-time researchers and to facilitate applications for research funding.
• We aim to provide a networking function, to link current and would-be researchers. 

Let us know about your own research by submitting details here. We are interested to hear about research studies that have been helpful to you. You can also submit these here.

We encourage feedback! Tell us what you’d like us to do or offer. Please email us at SystemicResearchCentre@tavi-port.nhs.uk.

The co-directors of the FTSRC are Charlotte Burck, Reenee Singh & Bernadette Wren. Its administrator is Astrid Winkler.
