Family therapy is a specialized field of study within the broader discipline of psychology and mental health. It focuses on understanding and addressing the complex dynamics that exist within families and other close relationships. Professionals who hold family therapy degrees are trained to help individuals, couples, and families navigate various challenges, resolve conflicts, and foster healthier communication patterns.
During a family therapy degree, students learn about the major theories that underpin family therapy, such as systems theory, attachment theory, and psychodynamic theory. Courses also cover the process of evaluating individual and family functioning, including the use of diagnostic tools and criteria specific to family therapy.
Graduates with family therapy degrees can pursue career opportunities in mental health, education, and social services settings.
If you're passionate about helping others, a degree in family therapy could be the perfect fit for you.
An MA is a master’s degree awarded to students that have completed a program studying humanities or fine arts subjects such as history, communications, philosophy, theology or English. A Master of Arts degree typically requires coursework, research and written examinations.
