MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY INTERN
Brucker et al. (2005) present an analysis of seven training sites that offer MFT internship opportunities to students. In their analysis, Brucker et al.

They should also learn to be self-reliant and schedule their own appointments and other research and teaching engagements. MFT inters also work with professionals from diverse fields such as social work, nursing, law, psychology, and so on.
Barretti & Beitin (2009) discuss an interesting training site for medical and family therapy interns to learn about the practical field and gain confidence and skill. They discuss the scope for MFT internship in an offender reentry facility. Internship at the facility is fruitful because it offers the opportunity to work in an interesting setting and enables the MFT interns to play a significant role in the rehabilitation of the inmates by helping them improve the quality of interpersonal communication and empathy with their intimate spouses and family members. While benefiting from supervision by senior practitioners in a secure environment, there is the risk that MFT interns might come in with negative stereotypes and poor preparation for their own safety. For this, an orientation session is provided to the MFT interns to train them in dealing with the inmates and deflecting invitations and manipulations to engage in self-disclosure. MFT interns get the opportunity to conduct individual, couple and family level sessions with the inmates and their...

Family Age Students With Learning Disabilities The impact of family motivation on college age students with learning disabilities may be a deciding factor in regard to the student's success or failure. College age students with learning disabilities obviously have more immediate needs in cooperative learning settings when compared to typical students. Educators cannot just tell the student to just sit-down and read five chapters of Freud. These students have problems like dyslexia,
Globalization has therefore transformed not just the role of nation-states, but also of families' abilities to maintain and protect their members. Families are compelled to be more self-reliant in an environment where they may have fewer options available to them. (Trask 2011) In spite of the changes brought about by globalization on the family, one thing is clear though that this basic unit of the society remain intact albeit sometimes

What this means is that studies have clearly demonstrated that an individual's risk of high blood pressure is largely dependent on whether or not there is
