– Presented by Tom Su, candidate for Assistant Professor, Clinical Teaching Track for Couples & Family Therapy (CFT)
In his talk, Tom Su will give an overview of his teaching and supervision styles. In addition, he will talk about one of his favorite topics: working with intercultural couples. As more people travel outside of their cultural groups to find love, what are some opportunities and challenges do they face? And more importantly, how should we as therapists work with those culturally diverse relationships?
