Description:

This course provides students with a strong foundation in classical/intergenerational models in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy. To deepen this understanding of these models, the course also focuses on their application through theory-based treatment planning. The course is designed to allow students to gain a deeper awareness of the important relationship between theory and practice through the study and application of theory to client situations. The two primary areas of focus in this course are, 1) understanding the classic/classic models of the field; and 2) the development of theoretically consistent treatment plans that include attention to the diversity of influences on family life using therapeutic models that purposefully address such influences. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Discriminate key concepts of classic and intergenerational models of Marriage and Family Therapy. 2. Evaluate the degree to which classic and intergenerational models of family therapy address issues of diversity as well as effectiveness. 3. Develop customized treatment plans that address family problems using classic and intergenerational models of therapy. 4. Analyze development as a Marriage and Family Therapist based on family of origin dynamics. Prerequisite: Admission to the Marriage and Family Therapy program.
