For this assignment, you will articulate your personal clinical focus (PFC) for the course. You are encouraged to consult with and/or obtain feedback from your professor on your proposed PCF prior to completing this worksheet. You will complete the PCF worksheet (found in the Week 1 Resources area) describing your PCF for the course, which centers on a specific presenting problem (PP) (e.g., infidelity, bipolar disorder, relationship conflict, ADHD).
***Mine will concentrate around ADHD***
Throughout the rest of this course, you will learn and use evidence-based practice to treat clients reporting this presenting problem.
Please remember that your PP must be congruent with your specialization (e.g., if your specialization is Therapy with Military Families, this PP should relate to military families).
You should also seek to locate any treatment studies or scholarly resources for treating this presenting problem based on MFT Modern/Classical and Postmodern clinical theories. (e.g., Are there any outcome studies or case examples for this problem using the theory you are currently identifying with?). Remember to consider a clinical focus that helps to serve people in the margins and consider cultures or communities that are often underrepresented in research. Do note that the research outcomes for some models and/or treatment methods indicate they are not effective for use with certain populations/presenting problems, also known as contraindications.
