The 6th Edition of the FSI MFT Study Guide was updated to specifically cover the current AMFTRB Exam slated for each of the 12 testing windows in 2018 and beyond; the New 6th Edition contains the correct and accurate information about each of the Knowledge Domains that may appear on the Marriage & Family Therapy Licensing Exam. FSI's "Knowledge Domain-to-Chapter Map" shows where in the Study Guide information can be found about each domain. As FSI hears of any changes to the exam, even after you have purchased the Home Study Program or Intensive Track, we will make the new content available to you via our eStudy site at a discounted price through our eStudy Program if you have purchased either the Home Study Program, eStudy Program or Intensive Track previously. As HIPAA has begun to appear more regularly on the exam, FSI has added an easy to understand HIPAA section in this new 6th Edition, as well as a chapter on Crisis Management and the DSM-5. Used by many COAMFTE Accredited MFT programs, the Study Guide serves as both a foundations and advanced theories text that will also successfully help you pass the AMFTRB National exam upon graduation.The Study Guide is a 600+ page hardbound book which concisely organizes the information most likely to be tested by the AMFTRB. The book presents this large body of knowledge in both a summary and more detailed form, emphasizing the most important concepts needed for the exam, in a very "user friendly" format. It is designed with both recent graduates and the older, very experienced clinicians in mind. Increasingly, COAMFTE Accredited MFT Programs are using the FSI Study Guide in their Foundation Courses to meet the new national exam pass percentage requirements for maintaining accreditation.

For the Latino population, the family bond is powerful and enduring. Family serves as the primary source of support, care, guidance, and healing; all difficulties that arise for an individual are surmounted together. Therefore, a practitioner working with a Latino client must gain the trust and respect of the family in order to carry out treatment efficiently. He or she must essentially become a part of that family to encourage members to share their issues without the concern of breaching the confidence of the family. Counseling and Family Therapy with Latino Populations helps the therapist to join the Latino family in order to identify and explore the difficulties that threaten their welfare. With this fundamental principle as the basis, the book's editors and contributors write chapters that focus on work with children and adolescents, group counseling and substance abuse counseling. They incorporate specific case studies, methods, and strategies for intervention and provide insight into the cultural relevance behind each example. This book is a necessary resource for therapists working with Latino clients who wish to offer effective techniques while continuing to value the integrity of family tradition.

In Group Filial Therapy (GFT), therapists train parents to conduct play sessions with their own children to help meet children's therapeutic needs, and to transfer appropriate skills to family life. Based on parents' application of Child-Centred Play Therapy, taught and supervised by filial therapists, this evidence-based method is highly effective for working with families from diverse backgrounds and locations. This book provides an accessible guide to the theory and practice of GFT, and for the first time offers step-by-step guidelines for implementing the GFT program developed by Dr Guerney, the co-creator of Filial Therapy. Important practical considerations are addressed by Dr Guerney and Dr Ryan, such as how to determine the composition of groups and the duration of programs, and how to conduct Filial Therapy intakes. The facilitative attitudes and skills needed to be an effective Filial Therapy group leader are also described, and comprehensive instructions for implementing Dr Guerney's 20-week model of GFT are provided. The book closes with examples of how the program may be adapted to meet the needs of special groups. Replete with examples and dialogues bringing to life the group process, this definitive guide will enable therapists already familiar with the method, as well as those wishing to learn it, to maximise the fulfilment of therapeutic goals for participating families. Practitioners in mental health, social services and counselling, as well as parenting experts, play and filial therapists and therapists in training will find that this book expands and enriches the services they can offer their clients.

In the light of dramatic new interpretative approaches to the Bible this guide to Job follows not only a range of new approaches to the text but also addresses the traditional historical questions and other topical issues. Dell particularly highlights the problem of genre in understanding Job. She shows how problematic the term 'wisdom' is for this unique book, and argues that its radical sentiments earn it, rather, the title of 'parody'. Of all the biblical books it comes closest to tragedy, raising profound questions about its nature and place in the biblical canon. Job's relationship to its ancient Near Eastern counterparts, notably in ancient Mesopotamia, are also closely examined and key theological themes that characterize the book are explored. Finally different approaches - feminist, liberationist, ecological and psychological - are outlined so as to illuminate and inform our own personal readings and generate ever fresh understandings of this enigmatic text.
