Applications of family systems approach to treatment of families in crisis and transition. A portion of this course emphasizes clinical case conceptualization and treatment planning.
This course explores what happens as societal context, power, and emotion converge in therapy. Students will learn how to apply Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT), an approach that centers relational justice as an important component of ethical, socioculturally attuned practice and challenges cultural discourses that privilege individuality at the expense of relationships. Participants will learn key clinical strategies for each of the three phases of the SERT clinical sequence, with an emphasis on mapping the socio-contextual nature of emotion, working with the connections between power and sociocultural vulnerability, and implications for clinical decision-making. Resources for clients will be included.
