Course Description and Objectives
This course will survey the major theories, treatment strategies, and research methods in the field of family therapy. Although lectures and readings will be used to provide part of this overview, approximately one-half of our class time will include videotape observations, therapy roleplays, and case discussions. Clearly, your participation in these activities is essential if this course is to be effective. While this course does not include a practicum component, each of you is strongly encouraged to seek supervised training with one or more families during this semester. Although there are time limitations, it will be possible to present and discuss some of your own family cases during this course.

The primary objectives of this course include the following: (1) to encourage you to consider and critically evaluate alternative conceptualizations regarding the nature of psychopathology and to develop your own ideas regarding family dysfunction; (2) to facilitate the development of your skills for family intervention; (3) to delineate the key theoretical, research, and practical issues facing this discipline; and (4) to provide the basis for further training in this area.

Course Requirements

  1. Term paper (we will discuss the details in class). A detailed outline of your proposed paper should be submitted on or before September 27, 2010. (I will return your outline along with my comments and suggestions within a week.) Papers are due on November 1, 2010 and will represent 40% of the final grade.

  2. Class participation (20% of the final grade). It is important that you read the assigned articles and chapters in advance of the class session in which they will be covered. Everyone will be expected to (a) present a case and/or (b) serve as a therapist during a roleplay.

  3. Final exam (40% of the final grade). This exam will be comprehensive and will be scheduled at a time that everyone agrees upon.
