MF6020 - Theories of Family Process and Development

3 credit hour(s)
As a fundamental introduction to systems theory, students learn to think systemically across individual, family, and other human communities through a diverse range of presenting issues (e.g., gender, culture, and substance abuse). Students are exposed to the major theories, concepts, and metaphors of systems thinking; to personal theory construction; and to conceptualizing clinical cases from a variety of perspectives (e.g., developmental, ecological, symbolic interaction, conflict, exchange). This course also focuses on the developmental stresses and changes that occur in families, both traditional and non-traditional, over the life cycle.
