Family-School Interven

Catalog description

A theory and clinical skills course taught through a combination of reading, discussions and videos and application of theory to clinical practice through role plays. The course is intended to familiarize students with family intervention theories, applications, and specific strategies they can use in working with families within the contexts of schools and public mental health settings. The course is intended to foster not only an intellectual grasp of the theoretical foundations of family therapy and clinical techniques but also a deeper understanding of self as an instrument of change in the lives of families.
