Customer Reviews
Episode titles by subject instead of guest
As a student in an MAMFT program, I have enjoyed many of the episodes. Thanks! My only suggestion would be to title them differently. I’d like for the title to mention the topic each episode is about. The name of the guest (the way titles are now) does not help audiences find subjects they are interested in. I understand guests are known experts. But for someone like me, who is new in the field, just their name does not tell me anything.
Worth It
I have learned a tremendous amount from this podcast on the systemic model of marriage and family therapy. Institutions do not train well on the nuances of the relational model…(at least my program did not) and I was able to glean a lot from each of the people the host brought on. Dr. Eli Karam is a terrific host and does a fabulous job interviewing different personalities. I have sent several episodes to classmates of mine in our MS in Counseling degree program here in California. Thank you for this podcast!
Love this podcast
Not only do I get to learn more about specific topics and get recommendations for further reading, I also remember why I am passionate about this Marriage and Family Therapy and systemic approaches. I have been sending and posting specific episodes to many of my colleagues. I have learned so much from this podcast. I highly recommend it!
