  5. Family Systems Perspective • Emotional bonds & interaction patterns • History • Values • Goals • Dreams • Belief systems • Interactions outside of family

  6. Holism • The family as a system is more than a sum of its parts

  7. Interdependence • Change in one part of the family affects the entire family system (directly & indirectly) • Circularity of influence

  8. Subsystems • Subsystems are imbedded within the larger family system • Marital: husband & wife • Parental: parent & child • Sibling: brother & sisters

  10. Multiple Generations • Families are multi-generational

  11. Recognizing Systems Perspective • Asking about household membership, extended family, neighbors • Considering how a planned intervention will affect the child and other family members and their relationships • Asking questions about the person’s interaction with various other family members

  12. Recognizing Systems Perspective (cont.) • Planning takes account of the family’s view of their own past, present, and future • Considering welfare, growth, and development of person with disability, family members and family system as a whole • Considering factors outside the family as well as the family itself

  13. Family Development Perspective • Family Developmental Triggers • Developmental change in any individual family member • Change in any one of the subsystems or relationships • Change in family membership • Pressure for change from the family’s ecological context

  14. Family Development Stage Theories • Normative stage model • Life events model • Paranormative events: are those which do not generally happen to a majority of families • Vertical/horizontal stressor events

  15. Developmental Issues for Families • Initial diagnosis period • Coming to terms • Engaging the service delivery system • Settling in
