PS 335 - Family Disorders and Interventions

Institution:

Boston College

Subject:

Description:

Families form the primary holding environment through which individuals gain skills in mastering challenges in daily living and meet physiological, psychological, and social milestones throughout the lifespan. This course explores patterns of adaptive family functioning as well as crises which may require assistance from a mental health professional. Theoretical models for clinical practice come from the schools of family therapy, such as the structural, strategic, systemic, narrative, feminist, and others. Relevant case presentations from clinical practice will illustrate application of these theories. In addition, students will have opportunities to examine themes from their own families of origin and cultural contexts.
