Abstract
Although the place of family therapy in child psychiatry training programs is still somewhat controversial, developments in the field have been incorporated into most programs to a greater or lesser extent. There has always been a major commitment to family therapy supervision in the psychiatry residency at McMaster University. This paper describes the training program which is based on a specific conceptual framework (the McMaster Model of Family Functioning), a clearly articulated approach to treatment (the Problem-Centered Family Therapy Model), and a statement of well-defined learning objectives. There are four levels of training, the first three relate to family therapy skill development, while the fourth addresses the training of supervisors. Trainees progress sequentially through the levels, being required to achieve the objectives of each in turn. The objectives and training format for each level are detailed.
