Course Description

MFTS 533i: Family Development (3 units)

This course uses an eco-systemic framework to examine various topics central to families and their development across the life span. The course examines a wide range of developmental issues important to understanding family functioning (e.g., parent-child interaction, transition to young adulthood, divorce, death), with special attention on diversity in family types (e.g., stepfamilies, single-parent families; grandparent-headed families). The course emphasizes the clinical application of concepts. In March, we will travel to Malaga, Spain to attend a local conference. In addition, we will visit local mental health clinics that provide services to families.
