About this course
In this course, Beryl Armstrong, M.S., LCPC, NCC, defines multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), explains the theory and research that have influenced it, and reviews its guiding principles. Each of MDFT’s four domains of change – adolescent, parent, family, and community arenas – has its own set of risk and protective factors, and each domain evolves through the three stages of MDFT. Armstrong presents an in-depth examination of a case study which used MDFT to resolve issues faced by a fourteen-year-old girl.
