An important skill for clinicians is to have a fundamental understanding of the dynamics and functioning of couples and families. Students in this course are introduced to concepts and applications in theoretical perspectives and techniques, classical schools of thought, and recent developments in couples and family therapy. Students explore culture, gender, and ethnicity factors in family development. Students will examine ethical and legal considerations when counseling couples and families. They also review and compare theoretical frameworks in couples and family counseling, including several foundational and contemporary models. Additionally, students assess the roles of culture, spirituality, and values and contemporary issues in understanding families.
