Title: Gerontology Training in Marriage and Family Therapy Accredited Training Programs: Prevalence of Aging Issues and Later-Life Family Concerns.
Authors: Barber, Clifton E.1, Lyness, Kevin P.2
Source: Gerontology & Geriatrics Education. 2001, Vol. 22 Issue 1, p1-12. 12p. 2 Charts.

Abstract: Against the demographic backdrop of an aging society, this study investigated the degree to which accredited Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) programs incorporate gerontological content in their curricula and the extent to which faculty affiliated with these programs have gerontological interests and/or are engaged in scholarly work related to gerontology. Data were collected from program “self-study” reports submitted to the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE). Documentation in these reports includes both course syllabi and faculty vitae. The study's findings indicate that only minimal coverage of gerontological and later-life family issues is addressed by the accredited MFT programs. Only 8.9% of the MFT courses in these programs incorporated gerontological or later-life family content to some degree. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
