The 6th Edition of the FSI MFT Study Guide was updated to specifically cover the current AMFTRB Exam slated for each of the 12 testing windows in 2018 and beyond; the New 6th Edition contains the correct and accurate information about each of the Knowledge Domains that may appear on the Marriage & Family Therapy Licensing Exam. FSI's "Knowledge Domain-to-Chapter Map" shows where in the Study Guide information can be found about each domain. As FSI hears of any changes to the exam, even after you have purchased the Home Study Program or Intensive Track, we will make the new content available to you via our eStudy site at a discounted price through our eStudy Program if you have purchased either the Home Study Program, eStudy Program or Intensive Track previously. As HIPAA has begun to appear more regularly on the exam, FSI has added an easy to understand HIPAA section in this new 6th Edition, as well as a chapter on Crisis Management and the DSM-5. Used by many COAMFTE Accredited MFT programs, the Study Guide serves as both a foundations and advanced theories text that will also successfully help you pass the AMFTRB National exam upon graduation.The Study Guide is a 600+ page hardbound book which concisely organizes the information most likely to be tested by the AMFTRB. The book presents this large body of knowledge in both a summary and more detailed form, emphasizing the most important concepts needed for the exam, in a very "user friendly" format. It is designed with both recent graduates and the older, very experienced clinicians in mind. Increasingly, COAMFTE Accredited MFT Programs are using the FSI Study Guide in their Foundation Courses to meet the new national exam pass percentage requirements for maintaining accreditation.

Everything you need to know in a condensed and structured independent study guide specifically designed to prepare you in successfully passing the National Licensing Exam in Marital and Family Therapy. This innovative approach to effective and efficient preparation is tailored to the new format of the National Exam which is now far more application based than knowledge based. As other manuals contain up to 1,200 pages of text covering the entire field of Family Therapy in great detail, this author has condensed the same information down to the bare essentials of what is needed to pass the exam. This is not meant to serve as a thorough review of everything you already learned in graduate school; instead, it will review such knowledge in ways congruent to what the exam will measure. The philosophy of this manual was to teach you how to pass the exam as opposed to reviewing the textbook. The context contains a review of each primary theory to Marriage & Family Therapy as organized by the knowledge domains stated by the Association for Marital & Family Therapy Regulatory Board. To further grasp how these theories are applied to families (keeping in line with the application-based nature of the licensing exam), the author has provided a glossary containing narratives of each approach applied to the same family vignette. To further differentiate this manual from the other available options, Part I contains an overview of the exam, test-taking strategies and study techniques to ensure that your preparations are effective and efficient. It will also move beyond theory and into the other knowledge domains covered on the exam as well as provide a thorough glossary of all key terms and primary interventions labeled by the theory in which they belong. Finally, the manual includes a Practice Exam with correct answers stated along with a rationale as to why each answer was correct or incorrect. Contents include: Part I: About the Exam, Test-Taking Strategies & Study Techniques. Part II: The History of the Field of Marriage & Family Therapy. Part III: The Theory & Practice of Marriage & Family Therapy. Part IV: Clinical Considerations & Concepts Part V: The Practice Exam Walk into test day feeling confident and prepared after completing this Independent Study Guide. An affordable and effective resource made by a Marriage & Family Therapist for Marriage & Family Therapists.

Now in its fifth edition, The Practice of Family Therapy comes at a time when traditional approaches to psychotherapy have given way to multidimensional strategies that best serve the needs of diverse groups who are grappling with the many challenges unique to family therapy practice. With expanded coverage of different models, along with new developments in evidence-based and postmodern practices, this integrative textbook bridges the gap between science and systemic/relational approaches, as it guides the reader through each stage of family therapy. Part I lays the groundwork by introducing the first-, second-, and third-generation models of family therapy, teaching the reader to integrate different elements from these models into a systemic structure of practice. Part II explores the practical application of these models, including scripts for specific interventions and rich case examples that highlight how to effectively work with diverse client populations. Students will learn how to make connections between individual symptoms and cutting-edge family practices to respond successfully to cases of substance abuse, trauma, grief, depression, suicide risk, violence, LGBTQ families, and severely mentally ill clients and their families. Also included are study guides for each model and a glossary to review main concepts. Aligned with the Association of Marital and Family Therapy Regulatory Boards’ (AMFTRB) knowledge and content statements, this textbook will be key reading for graduate students who are preparing for the national licensing exam in marriage and family therapy.

Much more than just a practice exam! This notable addition to MFT Licensing Exam's line of effective and efficient study aids offers the first practice exam of its kind to applicants preparing for the national licensing exam in Marriage and Family Therapy. Providing the reader with far more than just questions, this manual begins with an overview of the national exam, test-taking strategies, study techniques, and a unique section on identifying and understanding the knowledge domains measured on the licensing exam. But the reader will benefit most from the 100-question practice exam weighted to the knowledge domains measured on the actual exam while maintaining congruence in rigor and structure. As Domain 1 on the actual exam measures "The Practice of Systemic Therapy" and accounts for 23 percent of the exam, 23 questions on this practice exam fall within Domain 1's criteria-and so forth. What truly sets this practice exam apart is the following chapter providing a through breakdown and analysis of each question as organized by the knowledge domain to which it belongs. Readers will not only be able to score their performance on the exam, but also review which questions were marked incorrect with a provided rationale AND measure how they performed within each particular knowledge domain. And to wrap things up, the author provides an in-depth glossary of key terms and definitions that span the profession and practice of Marriage and Family Therapy. Truly, this practice exam manual stands apart from the rest. Designed to supplement MFT Licensing Exam's Independent Study Guide, applicants can take their next step in test preparations by working through this comprehensive practice exam manual. With MFT Licensing Exam, you can rest assured knowing you TRUST YOUR RESOURCES.

This volume presents a proven psychoeducational therapy approach for persons with severe mental illness and their families. Pioneering schizophrenia treatment developer William R. McFarlane first lays out the theoretical and empirical foundations of the multifamily model. Chapters coauthored with other leading clinician-researchers then provide detailed "how-to" instructions for forming groups; implementing educational and problem-solving interventions; managing clinical, relationship, and functional issues that may arise; and integrating psychoeducation with other forms of treatment. Also addressed are applications of the model--some described here for the first time--to a variety of disorders other than schizophrenia, including bipolar disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and medical illness.
