Abstract or brief introduction of the workshop

Family therapy is increasingly welcome and used in China, and it is expected to be required as one of the main psychotherapeutic models in the upcoming National Licensing System For Psychotherapists by the governmental authorities. While there is some commonness among various schools of family therapy, different schools have been using and developing their unique operational concepts and techniques. It is necessary to outline the core competence requirements for family therapists despite of diversity among different schools. This workshop aims to promote exchanges of ideas and experiences between Western and Chinese colleagues regarding clinical work, education, training, lawmaking and regulation of professional organizations. The organizers are experienced therapists from Germany, USA and China. They will introduce relevant theories and useful skills through demonstration of clinical cases, while they will emphasize the importance of the requirements regarding professionals¡¯ values, attitude and ethics.
