General systems theory, family therapy, and many of the core principles underpinning TCOM tools share significant common ground. Together, these tools might meaningfully aid clinicians in improving their practice. Sharing a decade of experience in the TCOM collaborative, Ken McGill, MFT introduces us to the alignment between TCOM and systems theory, outlines how to bridge Family Systems principles and TCOM tools, and underscores the importance of collaboration and leadership in building this bridge between concept, tools, and practice.
In this three part series written by Ken McGill, MFT, we will explore the connection between CANS, TCOM and Clinicians.
Part 1: Aligning TCOM and Systems Theory
Part 2: Using the TCOM Tools in Practice
Part 3: Building Bridges in Collaborative Leadership
