FAMILY THERAPY THEORY AND PRACTICE D

FTH5TPD

2014

Credit points: 30

Subject outline

In this subject students will draw on the range of family therapy theoretical models learned during the course alongside other applicable knowledges and skills to achieve in-depth assessments and analyses of complex family difficulties in general, and also in specialist areas. They will integrate all of this knowledge and skills with awareness of their own capacities and limitations and will synthesise this information to arrive at unique effective courses of intervention with the difficulties experienced by each of their client families. Students will continue in their live supervised clinical groups to see families registered with The Bouverie Centre and in this context will refine and deepen their competence as family therapists.
