title: Wearing different hats as a family therapist: an integrated four-phase training model.
abstract: A current dilemma facing teachers and supervisors of family therapy trainees concerns how to provide a broadly based, eclectic approach that integrates circular/systems thinking with linear/developmental thinking. This article presents an integrated four-phase training model that attempts to integrate the four main types of family therapy (process, form, historical, and evolutionary) into an eclectic but organized training format. A detailed case history illustrates the use of the training model in actual practice.
