Family systems theory describes an interactional model. Any change in one memberwill create change in others. Although the family is the sum of the individualmembers, family systems theory focuses on the number of dyad interactions that canoccur.

Exchangetheory assumes that humans, families, and groups seek rewarding statuses so thatrewards are maximized while costs are minimized. Structural-functional theory statesthat the family performs at least one societal function while also meeting familyneeds.

Withdrawal of love and approval is never appropriate or effective.The 4-year-old child will test limits and may misbehave. Children of this age do notrespond to verbal reasoning. Realistic goals should be set for this age group.Discipline is necessary to reinforce these goals.

c.Familysystemstheoryd.DevelopmentaltheoryANS: CIn family systems theory, the family is viewed as a system that continually interactswith its members and the environment. The emphasis is on the interaction between themembers; a change in one family member creates a change in other members, whichin turn results in a new change in the original member. Assessing thefamily’sgroupdynamics is an example of using this theory as a framework. Family stress theoryexplains how families react to stressful events and suggests factors that promoteadaptation to stress. Developmental theory addresses family change over time usingDuvall’sfamily life cycle stages based on the predictable changes in thefamily’sstructure, function, and roles, with the age of the oldest child as the marker for stagetransition.
