Area of Science:

  • Clinical Psychology
  • Educational Technology
  • Family Therapy Training

Background:

  • Traditional therapist training often lacks sufficient experiential learning opportunities for complex relational dynamics.
  • Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) requires specialized skills that are challenging to teach through didactic methods alone.
  • Integrating innovative technologies is crucial for advancing clinical skills in marriage and family therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the effectiveness of mixed-reality simulation as a pedagogical tool for teaching Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT).
  • To describe the implementation and delivery of a master's-level course utilizing mixed-reality simulation for therapist training.
  • To identify the strengths, challenges, and future recommendations for using mixed-reality simulation in clinical training.

Main Methods:

  • A master's-level course incorporating mixed-reality simulation was designed and implemented.
  • The course focused on enhancing clinical skills for couple/marriage and family therapy students.
  • Student experiences and learning outcomes related to EFT were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • Mixed-reality simulation provided a platform for experiential learning in EFT.
  • The technology facilitated the development of specific clinical skills relevant to couple therapy.
  • Implementation challenges and benefits were identified, offering practical insights.

Conclusions:

  • Mixed-reality simulation shows significant potential as an effective teaching tool for Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy.
  • This technology can enhance experiential learning and skill development in therapist training programs.
  • Further research and integration of mixed-reality simulation are recommended for clinical education.
