Family therapists must have an appreciation for the complexity of the human experience. From a social justice lens, this requires therapists to work to not only eliminate human suffering, but to promote equity, inclusion, wellness. Within this manuscript using a Liberation Psychology framework we describe the development of a Research Methods course in a Master's Level Marriage and Family therapy program as an example of integrating social justice pedagogy intentionally across core curriculum. The intentional development of this course is connected to the aim of gradual and sustained exposure to diversity issues and content across the entire curriculum.
