[ send me this essay ]
A 4 pages research paper that discusses Family Systems Theory (FST), which acknowledges that the reality that the lives of individual client/patients are combined with and affected by the social systems in which they interact. These systems encompass both the family and the communities in which families exist. FST is used primarily within the context of family counseling and therapy, it has also been successfully employed in order to comprehend problems with a variety of settings, such as those faced by students. A fundamental concept in FST is that the interconnected members of a family influence each other in “predictable and recurring ways,” and these can be understood by considering “communication and interaction patterns,” as well as issues of “separateness and connectedness, loyalty and independence, and adaptation to stress in the context” within the overall framework of “the whole as opposed to the individual in isolation” (Christian, 2006).
