General CEU: Perfectly Imperfect: Embracing Flaws

Perfectly Imperfect: Embracing Flaws is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Embracing Flaws, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.
