Description:

Knowledge of Interaction Focused Therapy (IFT) equips the therapist with skill in immediately understanding problematic behavior.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe four basic premises of Interactional Theory for making sense of individual behavior as part of patterns of relationship dynamics.
2. Demonstrate at least 4 specific strategies for evoking constructive change in symptom evoking interpersonal contexts.
