MFT-8713 - Public or Corporate Policy Making

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

This course invites doctoral students to consider the key role that policy making plays in advancing the profession of marriage and family therapy (MFT). The course will start out by identifying stakeholders who direct and sanction the practice of MFT, from accrediting bodies and universities to state licensing boards and federal legislation. Students will learn about the role of MFTs in public health policies and advocating for MFTs in the larger behavioral health culture. The signature assignment for the course will have students challenging conventional leadership and proposing a relevant piece of legislation that is consistent with the systemic perspective.
