Subject outline

In this subject you 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. You will integrate all of this knowledge and skills with awareness of your own capacities and limitations and synthesise this information to arrive at unique effective courses of intervention with the difficulties experienced by each of your client families.
