The format of the model comprises three phases: supervisor’s exploration of the trainee’s professional dilemmas, supervisor’s exploration of the same dilemma through stories narrated by the supervisee’s family of origin members, and supervisee’s presentation of a case that is an example of the dilemma. The application of this training model during supervision strengthens the trainee’s flexibility in divergent family systems and enhances the ability to handle dilemmas and to form a healthy therapeutic alliance.}, journal={FAMILY JOURNAL}, author={Haber, Russell and Braga, Cristina and Benda, John and Fitch, Jenelle and Mitran, Carrie Leigh and Nelson, Kimberly A.}, year={2021}, month={May} } @article{haber_braga_benda_fitch_mitran_nelson_2021, title={Therapist Use of Self and the Development of a Culturally-Aware Professional in Family Therapy}, ISSN={["1552-3950"]}, DOI={10.1177/10664807211061834}, abstractNote={It has been well established that strong therapeutic alliances correlate with positive outcomes in the course of any therapy. For therapists who seek to enhance their professional development, the contribution of familial alliances to therapy necessitates information about their proclivities with different types of family systems. Since the early days of family therapy, the genogram has served as a tool for identifying family patterns, resources, and potential hindrances. More recently, genograms have aided trainees to better understand how cultural, gender and other biases and assumptions affect administration of therapy. In this manuscript, we introduce the theoretical framework of a new model where the family-of-origin forms an important resource for the professional development of the therapist in training.}, journal={FAMILY JOURNAL}, author={Haber, Russell and Braga, Cristina and Benda, John and Fitch, Jenelle and Mitran, Carrie L. and Nelson, Kimberly A.}, year={2021}, month={Nov} }
