How do i get into marriage and family therapy?
I was planning on moving to wichita kansas after i get my associates degree at a community college around home so that i could study marriage and family therapy. They have a program just for it. But my psychology teacher said that most therapists don’t go into psychology they go into social working? i think that’s what she said. Basically i want to know what I will need to do and what would be the best classes to take so that maybe i wont have to move to wichita and i can stay here and take classes and still work for the same thing.
Scoop does not not know what s/he is talking about. Your professor is correct that most psychotherapy (MFT is a sub-branch) is done by social workers (there is no such thing as social working). Now all that said there is also a program of study in MFT (this is especially popular in CA – due to licensure issues). Now to get licenced in any of the clinical fields (social work, psychology, MFT, Counseling) you need a minimum of an MA. Not all psychology MA degrees are eligible for licensure.
Now given that you are still working on your AA you have some time to research this further (and that is what I would do). The BA in social work has the advantage over psych in that it does allow you to do your MA in a year. However, social work takes a much broader view of human behavior than psych (there is no BA in MFT). Social work does focus on social justice and recognizes that most human problems are bigger than just the individual.
I would encourage you to interview people with different degrees and credentials and see which ones fit better with who you are and how you view the world. You also want to understand what degrees are licencable in KA (each state is different). DA
