family systems theory

family systems theory
The application of general systems theorizing to the family. Family systems theory emphasizes the interrelatedness of family members, the difficulty of understanding one family member in isolation from the others, and non-linear causation. It provides the analytical foundation of some, though by no means all, family therapy.
