Description:

Until the mid-20th century, the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and mental health were dominated by individually oriented theories of human experience, development, and psychopathology. Family systems theory emerged as a response to the limitations of that paradigm, offering a radically different way both of thinking about individuals and doing psychotherapy. This emerging model views human experience as irreducibly relational. From a systems perspective, an individual is always an individual embedded in networks of significant relationships, the most central of which is the family. This course presents family systems theory as a powerful tool for understanding families and for working with children and Minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies adolescents and includes various clinical experiences. Special emphasis is placed throughout on multicultural dimensions of theory and practice.
