Description:

Wayne Clark This course contributes to the formation of a professional identity for the pastor as marriage and family therapist. It addresses the ethical foundations for a professional conscience, an analysis of professional ethical codes, issues in the clinical practice and contractual arrangements of marriage and family therapy together with such common recurrent problems as sexual misconduct, dual relationships, confidentiality, and physical and sexual abuse. Attention is given to core competencies established by COAMFTE, including family law and the legal system, the importance and procedures of reporting misconduct, and the value of ongoing supervision and consultation in a clinical practice. This is a formative as well as a summative process. The MAMFT candidate is expected to acquire knowledge of AAMFT and AAPC ethical codes and to integrate this knowledge into a practical philosophy of clinical practice. This course does not fulfill the pastoral care requirement for the Master of Divinity degree program.
