Summary

FAMILY PSYCHOLOGY
DEFINITION AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
? Family psychology; a field that takes the family and not the individual as a basic unit of inquiry.
? A broad based speciality that includes working with individuals, couples and families in psychotherapy and also working within other systemic contexts (school systems, primary healthcare, the justice system and family businesses) to provide direct and indirect service.
? Family psychologists provide assessment and treatment service to children, adults, couples and families. They provide supervision and leadership to various individuals and organisations and support effective program development and implementation through evaluative or basic research.
? The discipline represents a paradigm shift in the field of psychology. Traditional psychology has long focused almost exclusively on the individuals functioning. Often this focus has virtually ignored the impact of the various systems within which that individual is embedded.
? By contrast, family psychology requires that psychologists focus on the relational and contextual nature of the individuals functioning.
? By studying how small and large systems intersect, family psychologists gain a broad understanding of human behaviour. In addition to the individual, family psychologists look at the interactional system (the couple) the intergenerational system (the family) the community system (including cultural groups) and other larger organizational and societal systems
? Regardless of the number of clients being treated ,the family psychologist conceptualizes problems in terms of systems. Psychological problems are conceptualized in terms of the context in which the symptom was created maintained and influenced by others with whom the individual relates and interacts. The context includes the external social context and internal meaning of the context within the family members.
? The systemic thinker has made a paradigm shift to considering all aspects of human behaviour within the multiplicity of contexts within which they occur.
