Theory and your family

After reviewing the theoretical lenses used to consider the family of Bobby Sharpe in chapter 10 of the Hutchison text, consider your family of origin using the following questions as a guide: What value was placed on disconnectedness, and what value was placed on the differentiated self? What were the external boundaries—who was in and who was out of the family? What were the commonly held beliefs? What roles did family members play? What were the patterns of communication? Were there any transition points that were particularly difficult for your family? If so, what made those transitions difficult? How traditional were the gender roles in your family? How was power distributed? Can you recall any periods of stress pile up? If so, how did your family cope during those periods? How did your family use belief systems, organizational patterns, and communication in the face of adversity? Additionally, select one of the theoretical lenses in chapter 10. Identify and briefly discuss 2 articles in the Douro College Libraries database that address how practice with families is informed by the particular theoretical approach.
