In previous weeks, you studied theoretical perspectives on couple and family treatment that were quite varied in their framework of how best to facilitate relational change. The majority of theoretical discussions, however, do not highlight the full breadth of relational variety found in today’s couples and families. This week, you begin to scratch the surface of the potential diversity of today’s couples and families as you explore the impact of culture, gender, and sexual orientation on familial dynamics. You also consider the ethical issues potentially present in working with such families and couples. Learning Objectives Students will: • Analyze challenges related to applying theoretical orientation to cultural considerations when working with couples and families • Analyze culturally sensitive and responsive evidence-based interventions • Analyze professional code of ethics related to ethical issues
