HDFS 307 - Family Theories and Interactions


In this course, students examine theoretical perspectives within family science to analyze interpersonal processes and patterns of interaction within families across the lifespan. Using family theory and research, focus is given to understanding how interactions vary and influence family relationships across generations, and within diverse contexts, including parent-child, sibling, step, in-law, grandparent, and extended family relationships. Students learn effective assessment, therapeutic, and intervention/prevention strategies that promote positive family development.
