Related Event: Training & Consultation

The course provides didactic and clinical training in working collaboratively with family physicians in treating medical patients and their families. Whether the collaboration occurs by joint sessions or by professional consultations, family therapists have much to offer in creating workable and successful treatment plans, helping families adjust to chronic illness, supporting patients in adaptation to limitations, and other aspects of medical care. Continuing education credits are available for the course.

The course focuses on learning the physician's perspective and needs, models of collaboration between family therapist and family physicians, and ways of teaming with physicians to address common problems in medical practice.

Participants will meet in seminars with faculty and will gain experience by providing direct clinical therapy in family medical clinics designated as sites for the course. Seminars will include case consultations on the collaborations in their sites as well as discussions of readings regarding how to approach occasions commonly difficult for physicians such as aiding the adjustment of patient and family to chronic illness, dealing with "patient noncompliance" with medical regimens, breaking bad news, and working with domestic violence, sexual problems, and substance abuse.

Course Dates: 5 - 9 pm on Wednesday March 3, 10, 17, 24, & 31, April 7 & 21, and May 5 & 19, 2010

Facilitators: Thelma Jean Goodrich, Ph.D., LMFT and Jose Bayona, M.D., M.P.H.
