Contemporary scholars have applied intersectionality as a means of capturing the complex ways in which identity, inequality, and social justice converge to manifest unique sources of strength and vulnerability. Given the increase in the use of this term, the aim of this study was to systematically and comprehensively examine the application of intersectionality in the fields of family science and family therapy from 2010 to 2020. Through the use of content and thematic analysis, we examined trends and variations in how scholars operationalized and applied the principles of intersectionality. Findings suggest that intersectionality remains underutilized and underdefined. Moreover, intersectionality was primarily concentrated in theoretically driven articles and was least prevalent in articles focused on addressing a specific clinical topic or need or research methods. These findings suggest that, although the use of intersectionality is expanding, its applicability in empirical, and especially clinically focused, scholarship remains an area of growth and opportunity.

2010年至2020年家庭科学和家庭疗法期刊之间的交叉性

当代学者已将交叉性作为捕捉身份，不平等和社会正义融合以表现出力量和脆弱性独特来源的复杂方式的一种手段。考虑到该术语的使用增加，本研究的目的是系统地，全面地研究交叉性在2010年至2020年期间在家庭科学和家庭治疗领域中的应用。通过使用内容和主题分析，我们对学者如何操作和应用交叉性原理的趋势和变化。研究结果表明，交叉性仍未得到充分利用和定义不足。此外，交叉性主要集中在理论驱动的文章上，而在专注于解决特定临床主题或需求或研究方法的文章中最不普遍。这些发现表明，尽管交叉性的使用正在扩大，但其在经验性尤其是临床侧重的学术领域的适用性仍然是一个增长和机遇的领域。
