CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS: THEORY AND PRACTICE

PSY3RTP

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The subject provides both a framework for conceptualising close relationships (child, couple and family) and a focus on approaches to intervention for problems in these relationships. Theories will be outlined that have been developed to understand the complex dynamics inherent in close intimate relationships. In addition, the research methodology that has been used to assess relationship dynamics and functioning will be outlined and outcomes of research studies will be explored in depth. These initial lectures on theory and research will lay the ground work for further discussion of interventions that are often used by clinicians to target problems in relationships at the child, couple and family level. Clinical presentations of children, couples and families will be individually reviewed and interventions will be explored.
