MFT 245 - Evaluation, Assessment and Intervention With the Chemically Dependent and Their Families


Semester Hours: 3


Periodically
This course concerns psycho-social evaluation, diagnosis (DSM-IV) and assessment of the signs and symptoms of acute and chronic stages of alcohol and drug use, abuse and multiple addiction. There is special emphasis on the effects of substance abuse on the family (codependency) and the work place. Alternative models of intervention such as Johnson Institute techniques, EAP programs and self-help concepts are thoroughly explored. Treatment modalities will be examined. Use of videotapes, role-play and experiential exercises enhance in-class discussion and reading assignments.
