Solution Focused Family Counseling

Treatment planning and interventions for family counseling from a solution-focused perspective. As an alternative to traditional counseling approaches that focus on family problems and weaknesses, students will develop an understanding of and practice counseling approaches based on family solutions and strengths. Course work also combines readings, simulations, and videotaped role-plays to examine the role of the counselor as facilitator rather than as an “expert”. Prerequisite: PSY 756
