Abstract:
Case descriptions and a grounded theory of missionary reacculturation were generated incorporating the perspectives of individual members and the dynamics of three missionary family systems. Repatriated subjects reported grieving over loss of reinforcing events associated with their lives overseas and altered frames of cultural reference. Adult subjects reported greater awareness of management stresses that had accentuated problems related to vocational adjustment and family life cycle stage. Reentry of families was associated with decline in family cohesiveness, greater dependence of wives on

Abstract:
Family plays a significant role in shaping children's eating behaviors. The aim of the study was to assess whether mothers’ attachment style, their life satisfaction and their own body weight can be associated with family eating behaviors. The results from 52 dyads (mothers/children) covered by the Metabolic Disease Clinic were analyzed. A targeted sample selection was used, taking into account the weight (overweight/obesity) and age (≥11 years) criteria of the child. The results have shown that the mother's body weight is a significant determinant of her child's body weight. The anxiety-ambiv

Abstract:
The year 2014 was considered as the twentieth anniversary year of the family and in a sense acknowledges the important role of the family in society. Families are central to communities and one could almost consider the family-community connection to be a loop. In other words, when families are functioning well communities fare very well, which then relates back to families. But how are we to understand this important role of the family? Families are defined in different ways. According to Braithwaite and Baxter [1] “a family is a social group of two or more persons characterized by ongoing in

AbstractThe relation among family relationships was explored for (a) couple pairings and (b) parent-child dyads. In S3 maltreating and adequate families, mothers' and male partners' quality of attachment (drawn from interviews) was compared with each other and with child quality of attachment (drawn from the Strange Situation). The notion of internal representational models, drawn from attachment theory, provided the basis for seeking continuity, that is, matches and meshes between partners and coherence from parent to child. Both concordance and discordance were found; in particular, a hypoth

Dysfunctional families are families that fail to fulfill the protective and educational function of their children. They are conflicted, affected by addictions, unadapted to life, inefficient in education. The situation of these families is a challenge for the Polish social assistance system.

Abstract:
When parent–child relationships are disrupted, or a child appears to resist contact with a parent, prompt intervention may be necessary to avoid entrenched family dysfunction and deterioration in children’s functioning. Chronic exposure to unresolved parenting conflict places children at particular risk, particularly when parents or other adults are more focused on blaming one another than on resolving problems. This chapter describes application of the coping-focused, trauma-sensitive, multisystemic Child Centered Conjoint Therapy model to assist families, without compromising external investigations. Elements of this intervention include careful therapeutic assessment within a protective structure and specific therapeutic interventions to promote safety, encourage resilience and healthy coping behaviors, address parenting deficits, and promote healthy problem-solving. Structural elements include clear orders, attention to role boundaries, management of therapeutic information, and support from the court and independent children’s lawyers.

Abstract:
Couple therapy in cancer care delivers improvements in anxiety, depression, and marital satisfaction, with gains in communication and relational functioning. Women with breast cancer gain considerable benefit, whether through individual or group approaches to couple therapy. For men with prostate cancer, altered sexual functioning from prostate cancer treatment creates a more deleterious effect on couples. Psychoeducation, cognitive, and coping models of therapy (interventions with multiple components) deliver reliable effects, including in the setting of lung cancer. Use of telephone and web-based interventions is increasing. In advanced cancer, integrating a couple approach into the model of palliative care has benefits. Family-centered care can also increase knowledge of illness, caregiving, and coping and deliver small gains in relational functioning. Family therapy is worthwhile when a parent of dependent children is dying from cancer, in childhood and adolescent cancers, and when dysfunctional relationships add risk to bereavement outcome. Continuity of family-centered care from the palliative phase into bereavement has been shown to prevent prolonged grief disorder. Future research is needed to enhance approaches to family-centered care.
