Their Home Is Their Castle: Learning to Do In‐Home Family Therapy

The client's home is emerging as a typical site in which family therapy is delivered, yet training programs tend to train students in an office‐based model. This qualitative study examines the process that three student interns went through as they learned to do home‐based therapy after having been trained in a clinic setting. All three found that the experience of working in the clients' homes challenged their beliefs about therapy as well as the models of a professional relationship; all reformulated their views on therapy because of this challenge. A model is proposed that describes the students' journey from being a clinic‐based to becoming a home‐based therapist.
