- Everything you need to know in a condensed and structured Independent Study Guide specifically designed to prepare you in successfully passing the National Licensing Exam in Marital & Family Therapy.
- This Study Guide will teach you how to pass the exam, as opposed to reteaching you what was covered throughout graduate school.
- Theories are organized within the knowledge domains specified by the exam creators.
- A 50-Question Practice Exam is included with a thorough breakdown of correct answers and analysis!
- Walk into test day feeling confident and prepared after completing this Independent Study Guide.
This manual contains all relevant information needed to know in order to successfully pass the national licensing exam, structured into an independent study guide that may be completed at your own pace. The author has condensed the covered knowledge domains into 300 pages of text as compared to the more exhaustive study manuals reaching over 1,200 pages! This manual is not meant to be a review of what you already learned in graduate school, since that is not what the exam will be measuring. Instead, it will outline the major theories of family therapy, their relevant key terms and interventions, and demonstrate how such concepts are applied to the same family vignette that follows you throughout the manual. The manual will further contain a general overview of the exam, test-taking strategies, study techniques, a review of the relevant knowledge domains beyond the particular theories of family therapy, as well as a Practice Exam that will not only provide you with the right answer, but a detailed rationale as to why each potential answer was correct or incorrect.

What People are Saying about the Study Guide
"First and foremost, the Author normalized my fears about the National Exam and helped alleviate enough of my stress to focus on studying. The Study Guide offered practical advice on how to approach taking the exam so I was in the right frame of mind going into the test. The most helpful parts of the Independent Study Guide included: test-taking tips, study techniques, the professional guidance, review of theory, and the application of a vignette using each theory's approach. The Study Guide's structure helped me conceptualize a vast amount of information and draw connections between the primary over-arching themes of our field. This Study Guide was an instrumental part of me passing the exam!"

“I have been preparing students for the profession of Marriage & Family Therapy at three different universities in three different states for over 35 years. No matter how well prepared MFT graduates might be for practicing their craft, passing the national exam requires the ability to focus intensely and rather exclusively on what is specifically required to achieve a very limited short-term goal. This Independent Study Guide helps you to do just that—no less and no more than what is absolutely necessary for successfully passing the exam. It is the right tool for the job offered at a fair and reasonable price. I recommend it.”
