Family Therapy with Psychiatric Patients
(Fall 2022)
Join our course designed specifically for psychiatrists and mental health professionals!
The course consists of eight didactic lectures and two live case demonstration sessions. It aims to introduce
how family therapy can be applied to a range of mental health problems presented in children, adolescents and adults. Videos from live sessions will be used extensively to illustrate the assessment and treatment process in linking the presenting symptom to family dynamics.
The course will show the difference in handling a range of behavioral and emotional problems that is handled in the family context as compared to handling them individually. Segments from live family interviews will be used to demonstrate this specific approach. This course will be taught by our Faculty Members, Drs. Irene Kam and Dickson Chow.
