MFC 5760 Techniques & Treatment Planning for Couples II
A continuation of MFC 5750 Techniques & Treatment Planning for Couples I. Students will be presented with additional systems theory models specifically applied to the marital or couple relationship. The ability to conceptualize issues, develop treatment plans, and intervene in couple relationships based on both an understanding of diverse theoretical orientations and equally diverse couple problem presentations will continue to be the focus. This conceptualization will flow from an understanding of theories including but not limited to structural, trans-generational, attachment, and affect regulation models. Skill demonstration, in both classroom and practicum activities, will continue culminating with each student demonstrating competency in a chosen systemic model consistent with the goals and purposes of this program. By the end of this course the students will have completed a 100-hour practicum (in association with the previous course, MFC 5700 Techniques & Treatment Planning for Couples I) of which 45 of the 100 hours will have been in direct client contact (group therapy, co-therapy, client intakes, marital and couple sessions, etc.).
