The Institute offers a 240-hour, two-year training program leading to a certificate in family therapy. The Family Therapy Certificate Training Program requires 200 foundation hours of intensive family therapy training (100 hours per year for two years) and 40 elective seminar and workshop hours (20 hours per year at additional cost). Trainees are strongly urged to take the Family of Origin Coaching course as partial fulfillment of the course requirements.

The Family Therapy Certificate Training Program reflects the Institute’s re-visioning of family therapy to include issues of culture, class, race, gender and sexual orientation. In this program Institute faculty present an expanded conception of systems theory, human development through the life cycle, and the application of these ideas to clinical practice. Trainees learn systems principles and clinical family therapy techniques for working with individuals, couples, and families. Participants will learn to use genograms and family play genograms, how to assess whole families, how to develop a workable treatment plan, how to conduct family therapy with one person and how to work with children and families using play therapy techniques. Live team case consultations will be a major focus of this program.

To apply for this program, prospective trainees must submit a completed application and resume, and are required to call Administrator, Fran Snyder for an appointment (732-565-9010, ext. 201).
