es (regulated patterns through which people relate to one another); functions (the steps families take to fulfill their purposes); and operations (the specific activities a family undertakes in its process of fulfilling functions) (Guldner). Through these structures is where every family develops its own idiosyncratic patterns of interaction (Guldner). Know lets resort to the material in lesson one; every system is composed of a sub-system, in order to understand the family systems theory, you must understand each of the sub-concepts. They are as follows, wholeness, hierarchy, boundaries, rules, control, and causality, each of these concepts hold value towards the family systems theory in terms of change and various stages we move through in the family lifecycle. There are a number of structural issues to consider in attempting to understand the quality of family functioning, and between both sources of writing in lesson one and the essay I have noticed a significant co-ordination in the similarity of their work, and reason. Both agree that the family systems thinking has enabled us to recognize that it is not the end of the family but only its reorganization, and the key to studying the family is to look at how they carry out their functions in relation to their particular structure (Marshall Fine, 1990). Through my understanding of the Family systems theory, I have concluded that both the essay and material in lesson one provide an excellent review of one another. In all cases their work had some level of diversity, nonetheless it was straight and analogous.The third and final point to introduce is Developmental theory (Family life cycle). As you discovered in point three, the family is a complex system. Adding to this complexity is the fact that the family system continues to change as the family moves through various stages of the family life cycle. In part four of lesson one, we will take reference to the model of the family life ...
