Description:

Loren L. Townsend This course explores foundational epistemological concepts for Family Therapy Theory. It is designed to provide conceptual tools for those students who wish to pursue the professional specialization of Marriage and Family Therapy within a theological context. Course content focuses on evaluation and critique of three foundational epistemological streams influencing family therapy-personality theory, general systems and cybernetic theory, and postmodernity. Evaluation and critique will be both theoretical and theological, and will include particular attention to theories' interaction with central issues of gender, race, class, and ethics. Normally, MAMFT students will take this class in the fall of their second year of study. This course does not fulfill the pastoral care requirement for the Master of Divinity degree program. Prerequisites: PC3043 and completion of Practicum I or equivalent.
