What is the training like in a MFT program?
The training in MFT programs is very intensive. Students are required to obtain 500 hours of face-to-face contact with clients, which is more than in the programs of some other psychotherapy disciplines. Supervision of clinical training is also very intensive — accredited programs are required to provide one hour of supervision for every five hours of therapy. Clinical hours are obtained both at the program’s on-site training center and at an off-campus site.
