Using the knowledge of family systems gained from the Foundations in Family Therapy course, trainees have the opportunity to participate actively on a treatment team and, at times, work with families in front of a one-way mirror with live supervision. In addition, group members explore their own family’s culture of origin and its effect on practice. Review of videotapes is included to increase clinical skills and to address relevant personal issues.
