This is the second course in the sequence for FTCP students, building on CP 785 by providing increased depth and range of content as well as examining the research base for family systems approaches. It expands students’ knowledge of family therapy models and contemporary issues in the family therapy field. Students integrate and differentially apply therapy approaches to diverse populations-at-risk who are experiencing a range of social problems. Students take more responsibility for their own learning, developing their own model of family-centered social work practice through seminar-style interactions and individualized and group application assignments.
