Family Systems
[ send me this essay ]
19 pages in length. The structure of a family is not unlike a tree whose branches depend upon the root system for continued growth; without the required nutrients to help build that solid foundation of roots, the tree as a whole – as well as individual components comprising the entire tree – cannot develop to its maximum potential. Therefore, family composition plays off each individual member, which serves to bend and twist the entire structure in various directions and ways that are sometimes beneficial to the family's overall growth yet other times detrimental and stagnating. Understanding individual components of the family system provides a significantly better realization of how and why such structure is intrinsically interrelated. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
