HSV 332 - Family System Dynamics

This course examines families as a system of interconnected and interdependent individuals required to play specific roles and follow rules within the family structure. This examination is based on family systems theory and the assumption that individuals cannot be studies or understood alone, but as part of a functional family system. Special attention is paid to examining how the family system affects relationships and society and how individual roles within the family structure can lead to dysfunction.
