Course Content
The aim of the course is to assess, diagnose, and treat family problems by using important concepts and interventions from several family therapy models. The course introduces students to special family problems and interventions for dealing with these problems. Special emphasis will be placed upon therapeutic interventions that can assist those families. Also students are exposed to the fundamental assumptions and ideas of general systems theory and the basic promises of the various theoretical orientations within the family therapy field as background material. Selected topics to be covered in the course will include, traumatic family/life events, psychosomatic families, aging families, family-of-origin issues, single-parent families, and remarried families. Instruction will be through lecture, discussion, presentation, demonstration and videotapes.
