SCO 5092 - Family of Origin Theory and Therapy


This course reviews intergenerational theory and the different therapeutic models of understanding this therapeutic resource. Students apply these models to themselves through their own autobiographies and reflective exercises on increasing their insight and self-awareness within the family of origin. Application to the clinical setting is also emphasized, highlighting particular techniques of integrating an intergenerational model into standard therapeutic conversations. A model of intensive family of origin consultation is presented as a special therapeutic resource. 2 credit(s)
