3. Week 02: Understanding Family Dynamics & Theories

Hi. How have you been so far?

What we learned in this week is Family Theories and Genogram.

today I would like to share what I have taken notes about the theories here.

* Theories
1)Systems theory : The intimate group must be analyzed as a whole; the group has boundaries that distinguish it from other group. People connect through symbols, such as what we wear, what we do, and words.

2)Conflict theory : All societies are characterized by inequality, conflicts, and changes as groups within the society struggle over scare resources.

3)Symbolic interaction theory : Everyone plays important roles in a family. The key word is circular causality.

4) Exchange theory : Human beings all attempt to keep our costs(time, money, emotions, energy) lower than our rewards(gratification, money, good feelings)

They are interesting to me. I have never thought my family relationships in that views.

If you have some thoughts or want to correct my post, feel free leave your comments.

Have a great weekend!
