All family therapy associations are good.  Family Therapy is empirically validated and a wonderful way to create a clear case conceptualization.  But, what makes ABPP different is that ABPP Couple and Family Psychology (CFP) is directly linked to Psychology.  Therefore, research is integrated into clinical thinking in a different and advanced manner. For those who understand developmental, individual, and systemic issues, including diversity, as well as psychological assessment, and prefer to work with the family, the ABPP CFP is the preferred association within which to professionally grow. Our integration of research and embracing of diversity makes us standout from other professions who have not developed similar integrated criteria at an advanced level.
