Theoretical Perspectives on Family Dynamics

Theoretical perspectives on family dynamics explore how families function and interact. Key theories include the Systems Theory, which sees families as interconnected units where each member influences others; the Conflict Theory, which examines power struggles and inequalities within families; and the Social Learning Theory, which highlights how behaviors are learned through family interactions. Additionally, the Symbolic Interactionism perspective focuses on how family members create and interpret meanings through communication. Together, these theories help us understand the complexities of family relationships, roles, and changes over time.
