“…Other therapeutic methods have been described in terms of their usefulness as training techniques. Multiple Impact Therapy, a multidisciplinary team approach to family therapy (MacGregor, et al, 1964;Kraft, 1966) the diagnostic home visit (Tooley, 1975), and a multiple family marathon (Goldenberg, et al, 1975) have all been portrayed as having beneficial effects in training family therapists.…”

“…To this end the trainer and trainee make presentations of their own families in the course structure. Steir and Goldenberg (1975) touched briefly on the issue of personal growth and awareness of intrapsychic functioning. While this was labeled as important in the training process, the authors cautioned that the consequence of a loss of balance could lead to a therapy group, which by inference, is to be avoided.…”

“…In a training program at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, an Interpersonal Checklist was used to assess change in therapists' perceptions of interpersonal traits regarding themselves and their co-therapists during training (Stier & Goldenberg, 1975). They also use pre-and post-training videotapes of trainee therapy sessions.…”

The family therapy field is more sophisticated developmentally in its therapeutic methodologies than in the areas of training and supervision. Publications and research efforts on these latter topics have not Kept pace with the progress of the clinical aspects of the field. Family therapy training and supervision literature were reviewed and found to be fragmented and disorganized. There is a need for a comprehensive source which would synthesize this literature and compare the existing viewpoints. This paper works toward this end by reviewing, contrasting, and categorizing the available publications according to a series of content areas frequently appearing in the literature. These topic areas are: (1) Goals of Training and Supervision and Skills of the Supervisor; (2) Training and Supervision Techniques; (3) Supervisor-Supervisee Relutionship; (4) Personal Therapy for Trainees; (5) Politics of Family Therapy Training; and (6) Evaluation of Training. A comprehensive table is provided to quickly access references in the content area. Recommendations are offered for future efforts in this area.Due to the comparative newness of the family therapy field, writing and research efforts in supervision, teaching, and training have been relatively sparse. Bodin (1969) placed the teaching of family therapy in developmental perspective with his statement: "Following in the footsteps of family therapy itself, the training literature is just emerging &om its infancy." (p. 272). The Bodin paper offered a %brief' guide to the training literature by surveying and organizing the available references along certain dimensions. However, since his paper was written, a great deal of additional literature has emerged. Several authors have provided overviews of family therapy training opportunities but a comprehensive comparison and discussion of the major training and supervisory issues has not been attemped (Beal, 1976; Liddle, Vance, & Pastushak, 1979; Stanton, 1975; Williamson, 1973).Olson (1970) documented the changing qualitative and quantitative dimensions of publications on marital and family therapy. He reviewed over 500 articles and 30 books in these areas but made only passing reference to the training and supervision area. *Portions of this paper were presented Close NextKaslow (1977) provides a broadly based discussion of a variety of training issues in family therapy. Beginning with a historical perspective on the development of marital and family counseling, she describes sample training programs and the leadership role that a national professional organization (American Association of Marriage and Family Counselors) has assumed in the examination and certification of quality training programs. Kaslow then outlines some of the salient papers on supervision methods and techniques.A number of difficulties arise for the family therapy supervisor interested in availing himself of the published works in this area. First, the literature reflects the early developmental phase of training in family therapy. Most papers lack a s...

“…The positive effects of family therapy training that have been noted in the literature, have been based primarily on clinical impressions (4, 16, 20, 24, 34) or trainee self‐reports post training (19, 21, 28, 47). Unfortunately, these positive conclusions rest on the tacit and untested assumption that a self‐reported, positive training experience is associated with a change in actual practice or outcome with patients.…”

As the first substantive use of the FTCS, some useful information about the coding system emerged from this study. Its unitization and categorization reliability proved to be excellent. The results supported the discriminant validity of certain subscales, which confirmed predicted differences and distinguished trainees at varied levels of experience. In general, the continued use of the FTCS for the evaluation of therapy and training appears to be highly desirable. Three hypotheses were examined to account for the failure to find more significant training effects. The hypotheses are not mutually exclusive and seem quite plausible in light of the nature of the trainees and the two-year training program. The analysis of the second year of the program will, it is hoped, further illuminate our understanding of the current results.

“…This format has presented the therapists with an intrinsic inability to shift from an identified patient to a family model and thus clearly limited the scope of MFGT as an effective tool. There is only one report in the literature citing the use of an intensive multiple family group (Goldenberg et al, 1975), but no long-term follow-up was described.…”
