In a comprehensive review of the literature, no studies were found which compared didactic and clinical training standards in family-based interventions across core licensed or certified mental health disciplines. Consequently, consumers of these services have no basis from which to evaluate the relative competency of each of the mental health disciplines in providing family-based interventions. This study used content analysis to examine the amount of family intervention based training required by six core mental health disciplines (Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychiatric Nursing, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, Social Work) in each of the 50 United States. It was discovered that those licensed as a marriage and family therapist must have three times more family therapy coursework than a practitioner from professional counseling, the mental health discipline requiring the next most family therapy coursework. Also, to be a licensed marriage and family therapist, the licensee must complete 16 times the amount of direct, face-to-face family therapy. Implications for consumers and practitioners are discussed.
