Family's Stage In Life Cycle Development

Developed by Carter and McGoldrick (1988), the family life cycle views dysfunction in relation to normal functioning, It frames problems within the course of the family as a system moving through time. The individual life cycle takes place within the family life cycle (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988, p. 4). The foundation of the theory assumes that all families go through predictable change precipitated by life events and sometimes-unpredictable events (Azar, 2017b, 6). As these changes are occurring, the family must be able to adapt accordingly in order to avoid dysfunction. This may involve tasks that must be negotiated as they become more complex, and new roles and operations.

Families are organized with fathers as the figures in control and the mothers are subordinate to them. Mothers, however, take compete charge of the children, and so from a child’s point of view, mothers appear to be authority figures as well. Children are obligated to respect and obey these authoritative figures. (p. 103)

Discuss the need of parents to be involved in John’s life to be there to answer questions and concerns when they arise.

After looking through the different stages of McGoldrick’s Stages of the Family Life Cycle, there are many different stages that the McCandless fit into. However, one stages that really stuck out to me was the leaving home: emerging young adults. This stage was very important for the family because a event happening through this stage completely shifted their entire family dynamic (McGoldrick, Carter, & Garcia-Preto, 2011). During this stage, Chris went off to college, became dependent on his, graduated, disappeared from his life to complete his grand adventure, and passed away. Growing up, Chris and Carnie had to live in a hostile environment where their parents were always fighting over one another. He was able to break away from that poisonous

The presenting issue of the client’s referral was from the school counselor with the concern of grades falling. The counselor presented the issue that the client has been acting out of character this school semester, isolating from his classmates and teachers. In addition, the client has been refusing to do any assignment or homework. After meeting with the client the social worker found out that there is a lot of anger and resentment present towards his mother for leaving his father. It occurred a year ago when the parents separated due to physical negligence and being an alcoholic.

Growing up, Mr. Isai Leija mother was the primary disciplinarian in the home. He was talked to and his privileges were removed. Mr. Isai Leija stated that he and his siblings were all disciplined the same. Mr. Isai Leija reported no physical discipline and he never felt his parent discipline methods were abusive.

We also discussed the need for the church to see family as intergenerational and even announce events as intergenerational to be more inclusive of functional families. The term intergenerational can help people self-identify their family without feeling placed in a box by the church. This will also help the congregation in being open minded about what people consider as their family.

The decision a parent in which they will discipline their child is becoming more controversial. In some cultures, disciplining a child can become physical, as to others it may be considered as excessive and categorized as child abuse. There is no justified reason as for why a child is

The therapist should begin the intervention by reassuring Michael and Elizabeth that they are not irresponsible parents, nor are they to blame for their children’s defiant and aggressive behavior. The therapist should explain to Michael and Elizabeth that effective parental authority requires both discipline and nurture, and should reinforce the parents’ control while avoiding power struggles by encouraging Michael and Elizabeth to concentrate on being understanding and supportive to their children. The idea is to demonstrate to Michael and Elizabeth that comforting their children with sympathy is more effective than punishing or threatening them. The therapist should instruct Michael and Elizabeth to establish rules and enforce consequences.

The family life cycle stage model was created by Evelyn Duvall and Reuben Hill in the 1940s (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p. 34). The main goal of this model is to see when families pass through the various stages of life. Some of the stages include single young adults leaving home, couples getting married and having children, and eventually launching those children into the world to become productive young adults who contribute to society (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p. 33). Families go through many life stages. Based on the readings this week, the Miller family is in the “launching and moving on” stage where young adults typically enter and exit the family home.

I chose Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model of child development to reflect on my stages of development. In the microsystem of Bronfenbrenner’s model, my early childhood family structure included my uncle, his wife and their five children. I went to live with my uncle after my mother passed away. By middle childhood, my uncle and his wife migrated to the United Sates and I went to live with one of his daughters( Erica) and her two children. They became my construct of what a family represent. Although I was welcomed in Erica’s family, I felt as if I did not belong in their family. The only place I felt accepted was at school. The classroom represented a place where I expressed my feelings without being ignored or judged by my peers. Also, I had very observant and understanding teachers who had the best of my interest. I had one teacher , Mr. Francis, who believed that I was capable of improving academically. At the end of his class, he noted in my report card that I had potential to be academically competent, however, I needed to settle down and apply myself to learning. His comments motivated me to do my best throughout elementary school. During elementary school, I maintained healthy relationships with my peers. There were never any reports of misconduct of any misunderstanding amongst my peers. In fact, interactions with them thought me how to engage in fair play, wait my turn, build trust and explore my environment. In exploring my environment, I

-2nd order changes are coping with loss of loved ones and everything associated with death. Also, during this period a person has to have clear understanding that you are no longer a caretaker.

Psychology primarily focuses on those demonstrating behavior in certain given context, seeking to understand and explain thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Research psychologist studies exciting opportunities in psychology; it looks at various branches in the field of psychological research, for example, in clinical psychology, which includes both scientific research, focusing on the search for general principles, and clinical service, focusing on the study and care of clients, and information gathered from each of these activities influences practice and research., development psychology focuses on behaviors and conducts, while trying to understand the formation of its studies. The field of psychology commonly uses experimental methods in what is known as experimental psychology. Researchers design experiments to test specific hypotheses, or to evaluate functional relationships. My paper will attempt to look at why people are subjected to authority figures, on their obedience to authority figures.
