The cohort, week by week

Six sessions, six domains

  1. 1

    Thinking systemically

    The major models and key concepts, and how to spot the most systemic answer.

  2. 2

    Assessment and diagnosis

    Genograms, hypothesizing, relational use of the DSM and when to refer.

  3. 3

    Designing and conducting treatment

    Matching interventions to models with couples, families and kids.

  4. 4

    Process and termination

    Measuring progress, stuck points, ruptures and ending well.

  5. 5

    Managing crisis

    Risk assessment, intimate partner violence, mandated reporting and duty to warn.

  6. 6

    Ethics and the final push

    The largest domain, plus test anxiety tools and a test-day plan.

Why this is different

Not another 60 hours of audio

The big prep programs are thorough, but they're expensive and you do them alone. This is small, live and human. We learn how the exam thinks, practice choosing the most systemic answer and work on the anxiety that makes smart people second-guess themselves.

Pair it with a low-cost question bank app if you want more practice. You don't need to spend hundreds more.
