Credit Hours: 3
Terms Offered: Summer

This course is designed to develop therapeutic skills for individuals and families at traditional transitional points across the life cycle: childhood, adolescence, and older adulthood. Additionally, problems occurring as a result of discontinuous change such as medical disability, death, and divorce as well as therapeutic interventions for these challenges will also be explored. Testing and non-testing approaches will be studied to grow skills needed to develop systemic appraisal of individual attitude, aptitudes, achievements, interests and personal characteristics that effect functioning in a family unit.
