Medical family therapy refers to the systemic, biopsychosocial treatment of individuals and families who are experiencing medical problems. Because marriage and family therapists are trained to conceptualize and treat problems from a systemic perspective, marriage and family therapists are well-suited to become medical family therapists. The purpose of this article is to describe seven internship experiences that emphasize training in medical family therapy and are available for doctoral-level marriage and family therapy students. Authors provide a description of the medical settings, interactions with other health professionals, supervision experiences, and educational opportunities. Recommended resources also are provided
Young children's and adults' recall of episodic information was explored in 4 experiments. The task required participants to recall a target noun presented as the last item of a 4-noun string of related ( either categorically or thematically) or unrelated words. Providing all 3 preceding nouns or a subset of them cued recall. Experiment 1 found that 7- and 8-year-old children's recall was better with pictures as opposed to text, and children showed performance equal to adults with thematically related pictorial stimuli. Using pictorial stimuli, Experiment 2 showed that the number of cues present at retrieval affected 7- and 8-year-olds' recall. Experiments 3 and 4 tested recall of episodic information in 3- and 4-year-olds using pictorial stimuli. The results suggested that young children also have access to episodic information in memory and the number of cues present at retrieval influenced recall. The findings are discussed in the context of children's memory for events.
