Therapy The Department of Family Therapy (DFT) is committed to creating top quality graduates who possess expertise in the art and science of human relationships. All faculty and staff are committed to creating an environment that allows for positive, respectful and collaborative relationships with our students. Within such an atmosphere, students learn to manage human relationships in a variety of contexts, which include psychotherapy, health care, social service, education, community, and business. The department is committed to both academic and clinical excellence. Students receive closely supervised clinical experience at our own family therapy clinic, and additional “real life” clinical experiences off campus at a variety of community based internship sites. A major focus of the program is helping students learn to integrate systemically oriented theories with effective approaches to clinical practice. This integration involves the proactive involvement of faculty with students in co-creating an environment of intellectual openness and curiosity. We are proud to have a diverse student body to go along with a broad range of active faculty interests. These mutually renewing intellectual resources create a learning community of constant excitement and innovation. For more information
