What does it take to understand complex family phenomena? This course explores major theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches used in family science research to help students answer that question. By focusing on contemporary issues in family psychology, students analyze family dynamics in research and apply them to practice contexts. They become confident consumers of existing research and develop skills in producing new family research. Prerequisite: PSY 202 and one 200-level PSY colloquium.
