52 counseling students were asked to list five of their strengths and five of their weaknesses before and after they participated in their first Marriage and Family Therapy practicum. Responses were classified into 18 categories. The counseling practicum had a strong impact on the students' perceptions of their own strengths and weaknesses. Before the practicum, the students were very skills oriented. After the practicum, the students focused on the self-development and relationship aspects of the therapeutic situation.

Marriage and family common factors are used to understand the curative elements in marriage and family therapy (MFT) models of treatment. Sprenkle, Davis, and Blow identified four common factors of well-established MFT treatment models. This article deconstructs Imago relationship therapy (IRT), a widely used model of couples therapy, for the purpose of determining whether IRT utilizes the four curative common factors of MFT in its theory and practice. The analysis indicates that IRT does utilize the four broad common factors of MFT shared by other well-established models of MFT in addition to its narrow model factors that make it unique.
