Families, Systems, and Health - Families, Systems & Health started in 1983 as Family Systems Medicine by our founding editor Donald A. Bloch, M.D. to pursue greater understanding of the functional systemic relationship of practice, theory, and research as the disciplines of family medicine and family therapy evolved. At that time cost reductions in health care were already starting to impact the delivery of care. It was evident that there was a need to show how a collaborative approach, combining the physical and psychological components of an individual, could achieve better outcomes at an ultimately lower cost. In 1996 we changed to our current name to better represent the increased attention to changes in our society and in healthcare.
Today, Families, Systems & Health is a not-for-profit, private foundation that publishes a quarterly peer-reviewed international journal with approximately 1,250 subscribers. Susan H. McDaniel, Ph.D., a family psychologist, and Thomas L. Campbell, M.D., a family physician, both faculty members of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. edit the journal. They are supported by an Advisory Editor Board consisting of 80 professionals from varied disciplines, 55 Ad Hoc Reviewers, and a governing Board of Directors.
