Family Therapy Training: A Statewide Program for Mental Health Centers
Abstract
Staff training programs in family therapy techniques are conducted one day a week for a period of five months at mental health centers throughout Pennsylvania. Since February 1972 approximately 150 mental health professionals at 35 centers have participated in the programs. Sixty-seven staff members who have worked at least one year since completing the program were asked to fill out a questionnaire for evaluation purposes. The 53 respondents spent a greater portion of their direct-service time treating families, and felt the program gave them new ways of looking at problems and new ideas about treatment.
