A BAYOU VIEWVolume 2 Number 2 Fall 1997 |
"Exits & Entrances"
Lamar Woodham, Ed.D.
All the worlds a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one men in his time
Plays many parts.
Shakespeare
This issue of the Bayou View is dedicated to "exits and entrances,"
so it is appropriate that use this column to inform you of my exit as the
Marriage and Family Therapy Program Director and Director of Clinical Services.
Dr. Janie Long,
Associate Professor of MFT and Endowed Professor, has assumed the leadership
role for our program. The faculty and administration are currently evaluating
and defining the role of Director of Clinical Training, so by the next issue
we hope to have further information about this position for you. As the
program continues to grow we find ourselves needing to redefine who we are
how we complete the tasks assigned relative to the development of the Ph.D.
program and the continued progress of the Masters degree program.
It has been my joy to serve NLU and the MFT program for the past two years,
and I am equally as excited to be returning to a full-time faculty position.
Additionally, I'm devoting much needed time to my own research projects.
Another change which you will note in this issue is the Student Editor's
job has been assumed by Marty Carroll. Scott Fowler did a wonderful job
of launching the Bayou View and both I and the program are in his
debt. We welcome Marty, and I know that he will continue the excellence
which has already been associated with this publication. Kristen Lee will
be assisting Marty and helping with the editorial work. Welcome Kristen!
In this issue you will be introduced to our new Endowed Chair, Dr. Charles
Cole. Dr. Cole came to us from Iowa State where he served the Marriage and
Family Therapy program for 20+ years. He is well published and has presented
in numerous national, regional, and state conferences. Welcome Chuck! Also,
you will be introduced to our newest faculty member and the new program
director, Dr. Janie Long. She comes to us from the MFT program at the University
of Georgia. Janie is well published and provides expertise in some areas
where we have been needing some additional help. We welcome her and I gladly
pass the torch to her.
Just a word about the conference on Strengthening Families held in Prague.
What a pleasure it was to represent our University and present a paper at
this conference. I joined with Marriage and Family Therapists, Clinical
Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Pediatricians, and Social Workers from the
United Kingdom and the Republic of Czechs for this historic cross-cultural
experience. The conference on Strengthening Families provided a rich atmosphere
of ideas from which we were all able to gain. It was truly a privilege to
be able to share ideas with international leaders in the field of Mental
Health.
I look forward to continued correspondence you and wish you success in your
careers.

From
the Director:
Janie Long, Ph.D.
My bayou view affords me the opportunity
to observe other living creatures as they operate and adapt to their environment.
The ducks are fun to watch as they come in for a landing. Some of them glide
smoothly onto the water and others tumble into the water. I can appreciate
the differences. Some days I seem to glide into the office and other days
I feel as though I have tumbled head over heels. I will say that the tumbling
has started to slow down.
The turtles sun on the log in the middle of the bayou. I envy their leisure,
and it reminds me of the importance of "down" time. As we have
begun a new academic year many of us have made transitions. It is a time
of exciting new
possibilities but also a time with a bit of stress. Let's not forget to
stretch out and enjoy the sun. I am reminded that it is impossible to save
someone from drowning if your own feet are not planted firmly on the shore.
I have noted every day for the past three weeks a blue heron perched on
the log beside the turtles. It stands in the same spot for hours (perhaps
it is sleeping). I am struck by its constancy in the midst of all types
of weather. Like many of you its presence here is time limited, but it seems
to have found its niche and to have made peace with its environment.
I want to thank everyone for welcoming me to my new environment and helping
me to find my niche. I am honored to serve as Program Director and look
forward to getting to know and work with you.

Beginnings: Navigating Unchartered Waters
Charles Cole, Ph.D.
Hanna Spyker Endowed Chair
When a family therapist meets with new clients for the first time, the dance of structure begins in what Augustus Napier and Carl Whitaker (1978) call an opportunity for new beginnings. A similar process occurs with a young couple when they adjust to each other in a newly formed marriage. The pattern of exploring the territory and establishing roles and expectations for the relationship unfolds into a sometimes playful, and sometimes painful, testing of each other in an attempt to establish their identity as a couple. Moving to NLU as the Hanna Spyker Endowed Chair in Marriage and Family Therapy provides an interesting challenge and opportunity for me and for the MFT program at this critical time in our history as a program in much the same fashion as it does for the newlyweds entering a new adventure together.
For the past month and a half I have spent my time learning about the program and meeting the students, faculty, and administrators. The dance has been exciting as I shift from one new partner to another, each with a unique tempo and style that requires a delicate adaptation so that we do not collide or step on each others' toes. It is invigorating to learn new steps. As I feel more familiar with the dance created by Dr. Ray Becvar, our first endowed chair, and the other MFT faculty and students with their rich history and legacy of the past, I feel the rush of excitement of being challenged to grow and begin to add my own unique steps, tempo, and rhythm.
As I reflect on who I am and where I come from, I am struck by the duality of themes that have influenced my lifelong dance for structure. First, the influence of my own family of origin and my marriage to Anna have provided an anchor to undergird the values that shape my life. Marriage has been a central focus of both my personal life and much of my professional work as a researcher and clinician for more than 26 years. Second, my background and training as a family sociologist and social psychologist has continued to have a great bearing on my approach to marriage and family therapy. I have developed an appreciation for thinking systemically and collaboratively, which has roots in the work of the classical symbolic interactionists of the 1920's such as George Herbert Meqad, Charles Horton Cooley, and W.I. Thomas.
For more than 20 years I had the good fortune to be on the faculty at Iowa State University, where I founded the doctoral training programin Marriage and Family Therapy. From this experience in training family therapists, I have become intrigued with exploring research questions centered around improving the quality of the therapeutic services we offer and studying both family therapy processes and outcomes by using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Social construction and constructivist thoughts have guided much of my thinking as I approach these questions.
In this space I can share only a brief glimpse of my vision of the future of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program. I have several projects that I am excited about undertaking at NLU: 1) I am in the formative stages of working collaboratively with several graduate students in developing a series of longitudinal studies related to premarital and early intervention in marriage with newlyweds, 2) My research assistants are helping me explore the possibility of establishing a major research center devoted to studying marriage and the family with a preventative and therapeutic intervention focus at NLU, and 3) I am in the preliminary stages of exploring the possibility of establishing a new Marriage and Family Therapy journal that will be housed at NLU.
As I embark on this new adventure, I look forward to meeting and working with the current students and faculty in our program as well as the alumni and friends of the NLU program throughout the world.

of Connectedness
Alumni Update
Over the past few years a select group of people have had the opportunity
to experience the system recalibration process that took place when the
new perturbations of cybernetics were introduced. At that point in time
it was highly unlikely that one could predict what kind of directions the
lives of these individuals would move, but one could say that something
meaningful happened that would affect changes that would influence eternal
ripples.

Janice Horton
As I entered my first Marriage and Family Therapy course in the year of
1996, I was greeted by the sounds of the song "A Whole New World."
I said, "This is so neat and I can not wait to see what this year is
going to be like." It did not take long for me to see that I had entered
a world where people believed in themselves and others. They even spoke
a language unlike others that is called systemic. Everyone that entered
this world with me also found this language to be peculiar, but intriguing.
It took less than a week before the assignments and readings had us speaking
this new language. After a couple of readings and class discussions the
information became more and more interesting to me. I found myself applying
my new vocabulary to the outside world. The one phrase that stood out the
most was "I am with you as you are with me". I found this statement
to be helpful as I continued my first year of MFT training. I started making
associates who soon became my friends and family. Our relationships grew
because we were immersed in the world of systems that required a lot of
concentrating to be a truly systemic thinker. We each needed someone to
lean on, so why not each other?
Well, a year has passed and I have become enmeshed in this "whole new
world" thinking process. My experience with the program here at Northeast
has truly been pleasant. I have learned so much about myself in relation
to others. I believe that I have helped others learn more about themselves
through our conversations. I have had the opportunity to have discussions
about theories, relationships, goals, dreams, and even God with my fellow
classmates. I have shared my view point about being a young lady with an
opportunity presented to her and is taking it with pride. It is always helpful
to be surrounded by people that have some faith in somebody or something,
but to have so many with the same faith as yours boosts the moral a little
more.
Overall, I can say that God has blessed me with the opportunity to become
involved with such inspiring people for two years. We each believe in prosperity
in life only through hard work, endurance, and devotion to ourselves to
achieve this goal. So, I press forward with one year behind me and one year
to go. When it is all said and done in May of 1998, I will be another precious
jewel (a black onyx) in which this program has carefully carved for the
world.
I will always keep in mind, "If I can help somebody with a word or
song, if I can show somebody he is traveling wrong, Then My Living will
not be in vain. If I can do my duty as a good man ought, If I can bring
back beauty to a world upwrought, If I can spread Godís message as
the Master taught, Then my living will not be in vain."
Curt Singleton
As an African-American in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, I feel
I have a lot to offer the program. Although racism exists in our world,
I have not experienced this during my time in the MFT program at Northeast
Louisiana University. All of the people I have met through NLU's Educational
Leadership and Counseling Department have been supportive and kind. I have
met some good friends and have found the professors to be very helpful.
This program is important because it promotes diversity and multiculturalism
through its acceptance of individuals of all races into the graduate programs.
This program is very challenging, but I believe that I will do well. I am
now in the process of learning how to get more involved. I want to get more
out of this program than just a degree. I plan to take advantage of the
many other things this program has to offer, like the opportunity to to
take classes abroad. This program also promotes a sense of unity, closeness,
and family. I feel a genuine interest in me as a person from students and
faculty.
I believe I am attending one of the best Marriage and Family Therapy Programs
available.I encourage other minorities to consider the Marriage and Family
Therapy Program and help continue the promotion of multiculturalism at Northeast
Louisiana University.
This has been a very busy fall for some of our faculty and students. The
Marriage and Family Therapy Program has been well represented at various
state and national conferences. Dr. Wendel Ray presented on Brief
Therapy at the AAMFT conference in Atlanta, Georgia in September. Dr.
Janie Long made presentations both at AAMFT and NCFR this fall.
Dr. Sally Thigpen presented with Masters student Carla Nobles
and Roselyne Nobles at the Louisiana Counselor Association conference
this October. Their prevention on Bipolar Disorder was well received by
conference attendees.
Doctoral students Erin Rockett and Mark Finton presented on
"Utilizing Client Spirituality as a Therapeutic Resource" at the
Arkansas Marriage and Family Therapy conference in October. They have been
selected to present a poster session at TAMFT's 25th Anniversary in January
1998.
Dr. Lamar Woodham presented at the Family Conference on Strengthening
Families in Prague, Republic of Czechs in September and at the AASECT/SSSS
Conference in Arlington, Virginia.
Masters students Kelly Theonnes and Stacie Crouch met with
Harlene Anderson at this year's AAMFT conference in Atlanta.
Reflections on AAMFT in
Atlanta
"I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity
to meet and talk with those
who are out in the field. It was a wonderful chance to make contacts"
Craig Moorman
"I was excited to see our program so well represented both
by graduates and our current students. It was also a privilege
to be among so many leaders in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy"
Stacie Crouch
"I enjoyed having the chance to meet so many of our fieldís
leaders at AAMFT.
The conversations that I shared were invaluable. It was a great opportunity
to network."

From the
Editor
Marty Carroll
As an avid reader of the material in our field, I have had the opportunity
to absorb much information concerning context, personality, behavior, and
communication, on theory and theorists, approaches, techniques, and on different
areas of emphasis, cultures and people. I assumed a second order stance
and I observed and interacted with the information and am now ready, somewhat,
to emerge from the recalibration chamber with some thoughts about a group
of people that many in society label "handicapped" and the politically
correct label "challenged".
I suppose many people would say that I fall into this cross-section of society,
for I am legally blind, as some may put it, or as I prefer to say, someone
who uses his other senses to live more than his vision. Early in my life's
experience I was told by many people how I should do things and what would
be best for me in my situation in order for me to succeed. My family was
the exception, Thank God.
As therapists, we have the marvelous opportunity, as I punctuate it, to
help empower individuals and their
families who experience life through a unique physical or mental lens. Instead
of taking a deficit position and observing what they cannot do, which is
probably more of the same of what they have been getting, why not look for
and recognize their strengths and what they can do. Let's work to help them
find ways of doing things that best suit them as individuals. I mean, doesnít
everybody else do things in ways that best suit their abilities and talents?
Just some food for thought as we explore the applications of our profession
in the vast number of learning arenas in life. Simple concepts
with profound influence.
