Since the inception of field, theoreticians and teachers of family therapy have advocated for either problem‐solving, skill‐based training, or transgenerational training that emphasizes the therapist's own family‐of‐origin work. This article proposes an end to these polarized positions and argues for both‐and, that is, a model of training that integrates the trainee's own family‐of‐origin work with live supervision and skills training. A family‐of‐origin curriculum designed for this purpose is described.
