Michael Reiter, Ph.D.

Michael Reiter, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of Family Therapy in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), published the book, Systems Theories for Psychotherapists from Theory to Practice (2018). Contributors to the book include DFT faculty Christopher Burnett, Ph.D., James Hibel, Ph.D., and doctoral student Clinton Lambert. The book, published by Routledge, explores three key theories that underpin many of the models of psychotherapy: general systems theory, natural systems theory, and language systems theory. The book presents the aesthetics (how to see and understand what is happening) and the pragmatics (what to do in the therapy room) behindSystems Theory for Psychotherapists from Theory to Practice each theory. It also explores how therapists can successfully conceptualize the problems that clients bring to therapy, offering a range of contemporary examples to show how each theory can be applied to practice.

Systems Theories for Psychotherapists starts with an introduction to systems theories, and then delves into cybernetics, interactional systems, natural systems, constructivist theory, and social construction theory. Each chapter uses a distinctive case example to help clinicians to better understand and apply the theories to their own therapeutic setting. Woven throughout the book are three helpful learning tools: “Applying Your Knowledge,” “Key Figure,” and “Questions for Reflection,” providing the reader with the opportunity to critically engage with each concept, consider how their own world view and preconceptions can inform their work with clients, and challenging them to apply prominent systems theories to their own practice.

Spring Season Creeping Closer for NSU Women’s Golf

NSU_WGOLFIn search of its third consecutive Sunshine State Conference championship, and fourth NCAA Division II national title this decade, the Nova Southeastern women’s golf team is set to tee off its anticipated spring season on Feb. 3 at the World Golf Invitational, hosted by Flagler.

Following a highly impressive 2017-18 campaign in which they collected eight tournament victories, the Sharks picked up right where they left off with two wins in just four events this past fall. Head coach Heather Wall‘s group beat out a heavy Division I field to capture the Jacksonville Classic before rolling to a 12-shot victory at its very own Shark Invitational in the second week of October. In the midst of all the team success, All-American Sophie Madden rose all the way to No. 1 in the player rankings thanks to a pair of individual wins, and will look to carry Nova Southeastern once again this spring with a roster that features just two seniors.

The Sharks will compete in five regular season tournaments overall this season, following up the World Golf Invitational with a trip to Lakeland, Fla. for the Lady Moc Classic on Feb. 18-19. After hanging around Central Florida throughout February, Nova Southeastern will head cross-country in mid-March for the Cal State San Marcos Women’s Invitational, held at Shadowridge Golf Club. Two weeks later, the Sharks will make their way to Miami Lakes for the Barry Invitational, with the regular season slate set to wrap up at the Argonaut Invitational on Apr. 1-2.

Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club in Saint Leo, Fla. will be the host site for the 2019 SSC Championship from Apr. 14-16. The NCAA South Super Regional will be played out from May 6-8 in Cleveland, Tenn., while the 2019 national champion will be decided nearby at PGA National Golf Club throughout May 15-18.

Jim Crutchfield Coach of the Week

With his team continuing its torrid start to the 2018-19 campaign, Nova Southeastern head coach Jim Crutchfield has been named HoopDirt.com’s Division II Coach of the Week, presented by Just Play Solutions.

Fresh off the NCAA-mandated 10-day layoff, the Sharks still didn’t lose a step, throttling the nation’s No. 7 team in Florida Southern, 117-95, last Saturday. The Moccasins entered the ball game surrendering just 73.6 points per game, yet Crutchfield’s club hung 71 alone in the first half. Nova Southeastern set a new program record with its 10th consecutive victory in the process, and in doing so, also moved to 4-0 in the Sunshine State Conference for the first time since 2008-09.
