There is a need experienced by most practitioners of family therapy to impose order and structure upon the considerable range of concepts currently used in the family process approach. This paper suggests a possible structure utilizing five phases which characteristically unfold during the treatment process. The structure provides a rationale so that seemingly divergent techniques of therapy may be seen to be appropriate to particular phases of therapy, rather than mutually contradictory or exclusive. The article further attempts to demonstrate that certain conceptual models and the techniques that arise from them, are called into play depending upon the nature of the family in treatment.

Crisis Situations

Family structure during adolescence can be conceptualized in terms of changes in a basic dominance-submission family model. While the latency age child usually accepts the father as the dominant decision maker, and the mother as centrally executive, the developing adolescent demands a more powerful role in the family. A number of possible crisis situations from early to late adolescence are described using the model, and strategies for therapy are outlined.

The Family

This chapter provides an overview of the first family therapy session. It describes how to introduce families to the PFIT program and to develop a collaborative environment for establishing treatment goals. It describes psychoeducation about the role of the family in child OCD treatment, including family responses and expectations that may undermine success. It places particular emphasis on helping families to understand patterns of symptom accommodation that may be a barrier to treatment success, and it describes broader family dynamics that may interfere with efforts to change accommodation. The chapter also outlines steps for assessing current family functioning, including strengths and weakness, and for evaluating the family’s current strategies for managing OCD. Initial skills training begins with exercises designed to promote positivity in the home environment.

The Will

The will is an instrument of generational transfer and change. In addition to the realistic decision making processes that go into the writing of a will, family dynamics play a role in this deliveration. This paper will describe a family where a surviving parent changed her will since she claimed that two of her three children were not showing her adequate love and respect. In brief family therapy and with legal support, the will was changed to its original form, dividing the estate equally. No changes were facilitated in family atmosphere or style. Several months later her eldest son's child was referred for treatment because of a behaviour problem at school and this family entered into family treatment. The family had to deal with the emotional disengagement of the grandmother. In addition, her oldest son's sadness, disappointment in his mother's behaviour, which was reflected in the grandson's symptomatology were worked through as well as structural changes to help build an organized family with a tradition based on integrity, trust, and respect. Family dynamics and changes in wills will be discussed.

AbstractThe article discusses the image of the family and the family home in a series of novels for young people by the popular Polish writer Małgorzata Musierowicz in the context of literary conventions and stereotypes about the family in contemporary Polish society. The novels, which cover a period of over 40 years, generally fit contemporary Polish realities; however, the didactic function of the novels results in the author creating an idealized image of the Polish intellectual family, filling the readers with optimism. The picture created by the writer, on the one hand, fits perfectly into the stereotype of the family, which is one of the values highly esteemed by Poles. On the other hand, it adapts to the conventions of novels for girls. In this article, the stereotype of the family is reconstructed on the basis of language data and surveys. We present the meanings and contexts of family as a noun and family as an adjective. We also present the results of our survey, the aim of which was to determine an essence of a stereotypical family and how the traditional family model is comprehended by respondents coming from various groups. We also present the respondents’ attitude to the patriarchal family model and the division of roles into male and female. In our opinion, the correspondence between the family picture created in the novels and the image of the family operating in social consciousness is the reason for the popularity of the series.
