Family therapy training methods: minimal contact with an agency

Abstract

This paper describes the development, implementation and monitoring of a family therapy training programme with several special features. Training was given to staff of a large agency at a site distant from the trainers. Because input from trainers was limited, peer‐group self‐directed teaching approaches were used. Formal evaluation demonstrated that the programme was successful. This report describes the concepts, methods and techniques which were employed in this programme and which can be easily used in other settings. Copyright © 1984, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
