MFT 5929 - MFT Capstone

Credits: 0 to 1

During the last semester of practicum, students will complete a capstone project that consists of a thorough case conceptualization and presentation, with video/audio/transcript support. Through the capstone project, students will demonstrate their competency in the areas of systems theory, use of specific MFT models of treatment, cultural competency, self-of-the-therapist issues and the capacity for presenting their work in a professional setting. The Capstone will be made up of two distinct products: a paper containing all the required elements and a professional presentation. Students will submit a paper that illustrates a coherent theory of therapy and a thorough case analysis. The capstone presentation will be presented to current students and faculty in the MFT program in a forum hosted at the end of the semester. Each student will work closely with an assigned Capstone Advisor to establish expectations for deadlines, drafts and required materials.
