MFC 534 - Applied Therapeutic Methodology: Relational Therapy II

Credits: 3

This course continues the application of theory to practice in marriage and family therapy. Relational and systemic theoretical models continue to be emphasized in the assessment and treatment of individuals, couples, families, and children. Knowledge of theory, the foundations of Psychotherapy, and Marriage and Family Therapy learned in the first year are reviewed and applied to cases from the Practicum experience. This course supports the student’s experience in supervised Practicum with readings, assignments and resources relevant to the populations being served by the students. Students will continue to formulate a relational and systemic theoretical position as a foundation for their professional identity as Marriage and Family Therapists. Comprehensive written and oral examinations are part of this course. The course must be taken concurrently with MFC 535, Practicum.
