The primary purpose of this course is to provide MFT students with knowledge of abnormal human behavior in individuals and how this behavior impacts on couple and family relationships. Indicators and implications for couples and family treatment related to this process are also a primary focus of the course. Couple and family therapists and other non-medical professionals are often the primary care givers for impaired/mentally ill individuals or are called upon to deal with marital and family issues generated in part by the individual’s problematic behavior. Couple and family therapists need an understanding of individual psychopathology and how this may sometimes be treated in a couple and family context.
