COUN 530 Contemporary and Integrative Theories of Family Counseling

This course centers on contemporary (e.g., solution-focused, narrative, constructivist, etc). and integrative (multi-systemic, metaframeworks, etc). theories and models of marriage, couple and family counseling. A focus will be on understanding appropriate modalities for family assessment and treatment including developing one's theoretical basis for practice and responsible use of integrative techniques. Special emphasis will be placed on evidence-based treatments and a common factors approach. (This course was previously numbered COUN 531).
