Purpose
- To
provide an in-depth exposure to the methods of
systemic therapy (for families, couples and
individuals) as practiced in the Calgary Family
Therapy Centre at The University of
Calgary.

assumptions about the nature of mental problems
(including problem behavior, psychological

recognize the ongoing process of social
construction of meaning that is
involved.

foster alternative "ways of knowing" in clinical
situations that increase therapeutic
possibilities in patterns of
practice.

deepen cognitive understanding and to enhance
experiential awareness of systemic process,

ethnicity, racism, classism, and
