Family and Family Systems

Course Code: COUN116

Using a family therapy perspective, you will study human behaviour and behaviour problems as expressions of family interactions, dynamics and structures. Individual therapy will be contrasted with a family systems approach and the student will be introduced to the concept of "the individual in context". Family dynamics will be explored as factors in the development and maintenance of various types of clinical problems that present for professional help. Explore assessment and treatment planning from a family therapy perspective.
