In this subject students will reflect further on the theoretical and philosophical foundations of family therapy, and the ethical implications of models encountered in the previous year. Students are encouraged to critique relevant theories and to participate in debates current to family therapy. In addition, trainees will be supported to assess families' circumstances, alongside the therapist's own context, values and skills as important factors in developing their own family therapy style. Continuing on with the theme of assisting trainees to develop their own therapeutic style particular attention will be given in this unit to working with children and adolescents in the context of family therapy.
