FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY
By Jason S. Wrench
What is a System?
• Ludwig Von Bertalanffy (1968)
“Set[s] of elements standing in interrelation among themselves and with the environment”
Systems Theory Development
• Miller 1978– Called for a living systems theory
• Broderick & Smith (1979)– Published the first article applying systems
theory to family scholarship
Common Components of Family Systems
Theory
Non-Summativity
• The whole is Greater than the sum of its parts.

Circular Causality
• Family members are interrelated
• Not linear (A affects B)
• A & B affect each other
GALVIN AND BROMMEL (1996)

Equifinality
• Families may react similarly to the same experience or achieve outcomes by very different processes.
System types
• Sub system
• Supra system
Boundaries
• Open
• Closed
Family HomeostasisBradshaw (1988)
• Family Homeostasis (1957)
• Families try to cooperate within the family in order to keep the family at homeostasis.
Morphogenisis
• Ability to adapt and be flexible to stressors
Morphostasis
• Tendency for a system to stay at equilibrium
Applying Family Systems Theory to Family Stressors
Family Crisis
• Roberts (1991) 3 Types of Crises
1. Hazardous event
2. Threat to Life Goals
3. Inability to respond with adequate coping mechanisms

Pittman’s (1987)Four Types of Stressors
• Bolt from the Blue
• Developmental
• Structural
• Caretaker
3 Approaches to Family System
Theory Research
Interactional View
• How families interact through message transactions
Structural View
• Focuses on dyadic social organization and role structure within the family system.
• How do families regulate boundaries.
Constructivist View
• How does the family construct its particular social reality
• Narratives and stores that families construct from their own experience
LIMITATIONS
1. Family Systems Theory has not resulted in a body of specific theoretical assertions or hypothesis which can be tested. (Broderick & Smith, 1979; Fitzpatrick and Noller, 1993).
2. Family Systems Theory may best be viewed as a metaphor for thinking about the family (Fitzpatrick and Noller, 1993).
Turner & West (1998)Limitations
• Too much focus on homeostasis at expense of change
• Too much focus on patterns at the expense of unpredictability
• Too much focus on the system at at the expense of the individuals
• A positivistic intellectual tradition that puts the researcher outside the system in search of the truth.
