Document Summary
The structural model does not identify how functional or dysfunctional interactions or strategies come to be developed. The intergenerational model demonstrates how forces that operate within the family system over time can contribute to the development of effective or ineffective patterns of interaction. There is a focus on how experiences within the family of origin establish a legacy that effects the development of individual family members and the patterns of adjustment found in subsequent generations of the family. This model explains that problems in family systems are a result of unconscious attempts by family members to re-enact, externalize or master conflicts they have not resolved in their origin family. Differentiation: refers to properties of the family system and to qualities of individual members. It explains the patterns and dynamics of interaction that directly and indirectly affect the development of the self. As a family, some families foster growth and development while others hinder adjustment and foster dysfunction.
