We present "A Galveston Declaration," which is intended as a statement of values shared by family therapists and the broader community of collaborative practitioners. In the preface, the authors describe the process by which they created this declaration, as well as its purpose. The authors declare that family therapy is experiencing another significant transformation, not unlike a previous historical shift from first- to second-order family systems therapies. The authors propose a statement of shared values, thematized within four categories: (1) pluralism, (2) flux, (3) opening space, and (4) responsibility. The authors invite colleagues and peers to sign on to support or otherwise respond to the declaration.
