what some attendees have to say about our training program
|
The CFS
is proud to offer training in
family-based intervention techniques which are detailed in the pages that
follow. Our
program is state-of-the art and represents clinical knowledge developed at the
Center. The Center’s work has received considerable national and international
recognition and its team of professionals are frequent lecturers and consultants
nationally and internationally.
One of the guiding principles of the Center’s programs is the integration of research
and clinical practice in the tradition of the scientist-practitioner model. Family systems
therapists view the behaviors of family members as interlinked in predictable patterns of
interactions. The transformation of these repetitive patterns of interactions is the focus
of family systems therapies.
Family therapists want to know how to improve the effectiveness of their interventions to
transform interactions. Our scientific findings explain and describe the intricacies of
the interactions between therapists and families, and how therapists can behave to achieve
the desired transformations in family interactions. We offer a menu of training
opportunities which we believe will effectively meet the challenges that contemporary
families present.
The following training modalities are offered:
On-Site Training Programs
The Center for Family Studies designs customized workshops, seminars, live supervision to
serve the needs of agencies and professionals nationally and internationally.
Customized Courses Offered
The Center for Family Studies offers customized courses to meet the individual staff
development needs of agencies locally, across the United States, and internationally.
Courses can be conducted at our offices on the campus of the University of Miami School of
Medicine or on-site. All courses are available in Spanish as well as English. The
costs for various services offered are negotiable.
Workshops
Designed to present an overview and specific intervention methods of
Brief
Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) and/or Structural Ecosystems Therapy (SET).
These workshops offer clinicians a concise yet thorough introduction to our
family-based intervention models. Workshops can be tailored to satisfy individual agency
goals for staff development and can accommodate groups of diverse sizes and levels of
expertise. Workshop components can include video presentations, live consultation, and
case review.
Clinical Externship
In its 8th year, the clinical externship provides an intensive clinical and
supervisory experience for trainees seeking to build their family therapy skills. A group
of 4-5 trainees meets weekly for 20 weeks of 4 hour sessions with guidance from an expert
supervisor from behind a one-way mirror. Supervision includes case planning, telephone
call-in during live sessions, and videotape review. The externship also includes didactic
presentations of the BSFT/SET models.
Clinical Consultation and Supervision
We offer ongoing case consultation and supervision services for clinicians implementing
the BSFT or SET models. Telephone consultation and supervision is available for
long-distance services (with videotapes being sent to the supervisor in advance).
