The purposes of these CACFT/ACTCF Program Accreditation Standards are to develop, advance, promote, and support the field of Couple and Family Therapy (CFT) within the Canadian context. This field is also known by other names including but not limited to Couple and Family Therapy (CFT), Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT), Family Therapy (FT), Relational and Family Therapy (RFT) and others. To achieve these purposes, we propose the following Program Accreditation Standards to ensure that education and training programs meet or exceed recognized fundamental qualities within the field in order to be accountable to students and to CACFT/ACTCF as an organization.
