Info

Practicum training requirements begin with a first year Community Service Practicum that focuses on developing skills related to community-based interventions, advocacy, social justice, and systemic interventions that benefit human welfare and well being. Clinical training provided in students’ clinical practicum focuses on developing the competencies needed to prepare students for entry-level practice at graduation. Because the focus is on integrating Master’s level education at Adler with Master’s-level supervised clinical training, no transfer credit is granted for practicum credits earned elsewhere. Students must successfully complete course prerequisites prior to being approved to begin their second practicum. First year students will spend 8-10 hours per week over the course of six months at an approved Community Service Practicum site while concurrently enrolled in required coursework. A minimum of 200 clock hours is required. Students are expected to gain the minimum required hours over a six month period and no less. At least one of the following courses must be taken concurrently with Community Service Practicum I & II: Community Psychology and Mental Health (350), Professional Development, Issues and Ethics (505), Introduction to Adlerian Psychology and Psychopathology (402), and/or Social Psychology and Individual Differences (641). During the second year, students should expect to spend at least two days per week over the course of at least nine months at an approved clinical practicum site and must concurrently enroll in two semesters of Practicum Seminars during their field training. A minimum of 700 total clock hours of clinical practica is required, which should include at least 200 hours of direct clinical service, of which one-third or more should be in conjoint therapy with couples or families. The Director of Training and Community Service works in collaboration with students in identifying clinical experiences that meet the standards and requirements of the program. Students should refer to the Practicum Handbook, available on Scholar 360, for detailed information. Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy The Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy program enables qualified professionals with a minimum of a Master’s degree in psychology, social work, and related mental health fields to enhance their knowledge and skills in couple and family therapy and to help them achieve licensure in marriage and family therapy. The course work and clinical practica in this certificate program focus on helping the student to understand and integrate individual life style dynamics with couple and family systems. 63
Although this certificate program has been designed to help students meet the current academic and pre-degree training and education requirements for the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) credential in the State of Illinois, the Illinois Licensing Board will make the final determination. Additionally, students should be aware that LMFT licensure requirements in some states may require them to take courses beyond those currently required by the Adler School. Students intending to practice in another state should consult the state board and licensure requirements in that state and plan their curriculum accordingly. The program is designed to provide students with opportunities to develop intervention skills through role-playing and supervised clinical experience. Graduates of the program will have a theoretical understanding of individual, couple, and family systems, including developmental issues and major variations; assessment skills in life style and systemic diagnosis; and intervention skills based upon major models of marital and family therapy, with the theories and methods of Individual Psychology as a foundation. Minimum Admission Requirements Applicants to this program typically require: • A master’s degree in psychology, social work, or a related mental health field from an accredited institution • A grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale for all undergraduate and graduate course work • Prerequisite graduate-level courses including the following: a minimum of nine semester hours in human development, personality theory, human sexuality, psychopathology, or behavioral pathology; three semester hours of professional issues and ethics; and three semester hours of research design, methods, and statistics Approved applicants will be invited to a personal interview as a final step in the application process. Graduate-level course work previously completed at another college or university may be recognized for transfer of credit and will be evaluated on an individual basis by the Program Director. Students lacking any of the graduate-level prerequisite courses listed above can take Adler School courses from the M.A.F. program or the equivalent graduate-level courses at another college or university. Certificate Requirements The following courses are required for this certificate. In addition, students in this program should consult with the Program Director to review previous graduate coursework and develop an individualized course of study. 64
