Family and Family Systems (CSDU243)

This course is an introduction to viewing and working with families from a family systems and family therapy perspective. Students will learn to view 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. NOTE: This course has mandatory group work. Textbook required.
