MCFT 660 - Culture and Diversity in Couple and Family Therapy

3
This course is designed to expose students to different dimensions of culture and its interface with the practice and profession of marriage and family therapy. The course will explore race, ethnicity, socioeconomics, gender, sexual orientation, geographical variables, migration, and spirituality. Students will be encouraged to think of themselves as complex cultural beings and will be challenged to explore their inner thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, interactions, and behaviors. Particular emphasis will rest on an appreciation and application of how these issues impact students’ work as family therapists.
