The Study Guide
There are limited options as far as study materials when preparing for the AMFTRB National Licensing Exam. Of the few included, prices range from $120.00 up toward $185.00 while boasting nearly 1,200 pages of text. Knowing that the exam is far more application based than knowledge based, reviewing and memorizing the entire field of Marriage & Family Therapy is not only inefficient but will leave you incredibly frustrated come test day when very few questions tie to specific interventions or key terms. It was this frustrating experience that inspired the creation of an innovative approach to exam preparation specifically tailored to the exam's new format.
In essence, this 2nd Edition Study Guide specifically prepares you to Pass the AMFTRB National Licensing Exam as opposed to reteaching you everything that was covered in Graduate School. Prior to getting into the particulars of each theory, the manual begins with an overview of the exam, test-taking tips and strategies as well as effective and efficient study techniques. Most importantly, the study guide contains a chapter that break downs the exam's knowledge domains while examining how they interact with and inform one another.
Many of the questions on the exam will take the perspective of, "What would a Family Therapist do next...?" At first, it is difficult to grasp just exactly what a Family Therapist is. As so, our study guide is the exclusive resource outlining the concept of the Universal Family Therapist--the theoretical framework used when such questions arise throughout the exam (this theoretical foundation is exclusive to this Independent Study Guide).
Another exclusive element to this Study Guide is the manner in which the theories are reviewed. As you will see, each approach is outlined in accordance with the Knowledge Domains stated by the Association for Marital & Family Therapy Regulatory Board. Everything needed to know about that particular model of family therapy will be covered throughout the outline; no more, no less. Furthermore, you will be challenged to apply each theory to the same family vignette that will follow you throughout the Study Guide to illuminate the similarities and differences across each theory. If you find yourself struggling to apply a particular theory, the author has provided a glossary containing a narrative of how each approach would conceptualize working with the vignette.
The Study Guide then moves beyond theory and into the other relevant knowledge domains covered on the exam including thorough chapters on Domains 5 and 6 (ethics and crisis situations), as well as a review of Multicultural Practices, HIPAA, Research Findings and Methods, Violence & Abuse, Chemical Use, and basic Assessment in Family Therapy. Most notably, this 2nd edition includes MFT Licensing Exam's Differential Diagnosis Table which condenses the entire DSM-5 into a well organized tables.
The Study Guide concludes with a 50-question practice exam followed by the answers to each question as well as a rationale as to why each question was right or wrong. This Study Guide was made with you in mind, providing an effective, efficient, and affordable resource to the Marriage & Family Therapy community across the country.
From the Study Guide grew an Audio Disc Set summarizing the manual to be enjoyed during your commute, an App for your Mobile Phone/Tablet to study on the go (Android/iOS Compatible), an eBook edition for you Kindle lovers, as well as an opportunity to schedule a live, web-based tutoring session with the Author. Most recently, we have developed and released a much needed 100-Question Comprehensive Practice Exam Manual.
