Family theory
Family theory explores how family members interact, influence each other, and create a system that shapes behavior and relationships. It examines patterns of communication, roles, boundaries, and power dynamics within families. The theory helps us understand how families function, adapt to change, and maintain stability or experience conflict. By analyzing these elements, family theory provides insights into individual development, relationship quality, and how family contexts impact overall well-being. It serves as a foundation for studying family life and improving family relationships through informed practices and interventions.
