Work Class Offers Real-Life View of Family Therapy |

September,
2004 — Ann Reese, a Salesmanship Club family therapist
and clinical coordinator, is teaching a seminar in family therapy
for the University of Texas at Arlington’s School of Social
Work.
This semester-long,
graduate level course meets every Tuesday evening at the Salesmanship
Club’s family center. Several other Salesmanship Club therapists
are stepping in as guest speakers, including Dr. Ken Graves, Michelle
Kinder, Dr. Delane Kinney, Stella Rodriquez, Michael Spain and Dr.
Phil Torti. Students are receiving a very practical, hands-on experience
that includes, with client permission, observing actual sessions with
families.
“This is the first time that I’ve been able to see the
practical application of theories that I’m learning about in
my course work,” said Bryan Baldoza, a student who will finish
his Masters in social work next semester. “Ann and the guest
speakers each week give practical examples of how you can apply different
theories out in the field. It’s been invaluable.”
