Training family therapists by setting learning objectives.

Abstract: A method of defining therapist variables in family therapy by stating objectives of training is proposed. The authors discuss its potential importance for educating a variety of mental health workers and for evaluative research. Learning objectives pertain to three kinds of skills—perceptual, conceptual, and executive—and the levels of necessary skills are outlined for basic (beginning), advanced, and experienced family therapists.
