Simulated Family Therapy Interviews in Clinical Social Work Education
Mooradian, John K.
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v27 n1-2 p89-104 Jun 2007
This article describes a learning method that employed theatre students as family clients in an advanced social work practice course. Students were provided with an opportunity to integrate and apply their learning of theory, clinical skills, and professional conduct in full-length family therapy sessions that occurred in the classroom and were videotaped for later review. Family therapy training methods provide the conceptual basis for this educational method. A detailed presentation of instructor actions, student activities, and participant feedback is offered. Qualitative data indicate that simulated family therapy interviews can provide effective learning experiences for MSW students.
