Family Systems

Family Systems theory views a family as an interconnected system where each member’s actions and emotions influence others. Rather than focusing solely on individual traits, it considers how patterns, roles, and relationships shape the family’s overall functioning. Changes or issues in one member can affect the entire system, emphasizing the importance of understanding family dynamics to address problems effectively. This approach highlights that families are complex, adaptive units—like a living organism—where harmony depends on balanced interactions among all members.
