I used both ATTBS and Gerry Grossman study programs, including the workshops and failed the first MFT exam 2 times. I was so overwhelmed by all of the books, tapes, flash cards, and tests that I had even re-arranged my dining room into a study area for it all to fit! The dining table was covered with material!! I felt completely defeated, with the thought I was never going to pass! Amanda Rowan's name was given to me by my supervisor, mentioning she had a friend who had been having a difficult time passing the exams too. I live in Sacramento and looked her name up in the phone book, then online. I had no idea the Therapist Development Center existed! I was amazed the minute I paid for the written MFT exam material, it was instantly available on-line. I cannot say enough about how this program improved my self-confidence and how simple it was! Very specific directions and for me the perfect solution. I had aha moments immediately and it was hard to stop studying!! I was enjoying it! I passed the written MFT exam the first time and I couldn't wait to begin the MFT clinical vignette program. I passed that exam on my first attempt!!! The TDC's presentation of all the material is down to earth and I felt they were in the room with me! They incorporated humor, authenticity and expertise throughout! Such a pleasure to have worked with them! I cannot say enough positive stuff about the Therapist Development Center!!!
