Family Interaction Cycles
Effective family therapy relies on having an accurate understanding of the inner workings of a family, including how things go wrong. This course utilizes concepts of family systems theory including homeostasis, negative feedback loops, and positive feedback, to help you understand, identify, and track changes in common family interaction cycles. Multiple case examples are used to illustrate the identification of the cycle and how it can explain complex sets of family problems.
