About This Course

This workshop will help professionals create a focus and maintain an intentional therapeutic posture by developing a checklist to navigate worrisome clinical dilemmas. Professionals must see how the family works, must understand how they must work, and must respond in ways that inspire family members to enact new ways of relating. The didactic will use lecture, discussion, group-based exercises, and video-taped examples.

Learning Objectives: 

• Day 1: Explore if clinicians view family members as assets or barriers to treatment to lay argument for importance of family work.
• Day 2: Describe family systems theory and ways family systems work can improve clinical sessions.
• Day 3: Discuss using LEAP – listen, empathize, agree, and partner – as a starting point on how to join with the family system.
• Day 4: Describe how family systems can enhance adopted models, such as ABA, TFCBT, and other treatment modalities.

Intended Audience: 

Therapists and clinicians who are not currently using a family systems framework in their practice or clinicians who would like to strengthen their understanding of family systems. Clinicians who work in outpatient, drug and alcohol programs, community-based services, and residential treatment facilities would be appropriate to attend this training.
