This seminar reviews the nature of biopsychosocial-spiritual therapeutic and behavioral health interviews and interventions used to work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a medical illness. We will examine brief biopsychosocial-spiritual interview formats and practice using them. We will review medical language and charting, different levels of integrated care, and examine communication and collaboration skills required to work successfully with healthcare providers. (Formerly called Interviewing for Biopsychosocial and Spiritual Care.) Graduate students outside MFT and MDFT, and CE professionals, may register with permission of the Medical Family Therapy program director or class instructor. Typically offered: Autumn.
