Family therapy (also referred to as family counseling, family systems therapy, marriage and family therapy, couple and family therapy) is a branch of psychology and clinical social work that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members.
According to a 2004 French government study conducted by French Institute of Health and Medical Research, family and couples therapy was the second most effective therapy after Cognitive behavioral therapy.[38] The study used meta-analysis of over a hundred secondary studies to find some level of effectiveness that was either \"proven\" or \"presumed\" to exist. Of the treatments studied, family therapy was presumed or proven effective at treating schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anorexia and alcohol dependency.[38]

All relationships experience difficulties from time to time. When these problems pile up or seem too complicated to solve, it may be helpful to meet with a couples and family therapist. Because family and intimate relationships provide an important setting for growth and understanding, we focus on these relationships as the primary unit of care in the Couples and Family Therapy Clinic.
Students must also complete a 700-hour supervised clinical internship in marriage and family therapy that meets the currently articulated criteria for such training, with at least 270 hours of direct client contact. One-hundred and thirty-five of those 270 direct-client contact hours must be with couples and families.
The idea that only those with a mental illness can benefit from therapy is a myth. Changes, stress, and problems are inevitable in each person's life. Marriage & Family Therapists and Counselors work to strengthen relationships and prevent problems from getting out of control. Not all family members must participate for successful outcomes. A wide variety of problems influence and are influenced by a person's ability to relate to others in his or her world. Individuals, couples, or families who want to improve their relationships, whether those relationships be with friends, lovers, spouses, parents, children, siblings, or work associates, may benefit from the expertise available in our clinic.
