The Family as a Unit of Care
Aileen B. Pascual, MD, FPAFP
What is a family?
“A group of persons united by ties of
marriage, blood or adoption; consisting of
a single household; interacting and
communicating with each other in their
respective social roles and maintaining a
common culture”
Burgess and Locke, 1960
“The family is a social group characterized by
common residence, economic cooperation and
reproduction”
Murdock, 1965
“Families comprise people who have a
shared history and a shared future”
Carter and McGoldrick, 1999
Family Structure

The Family as a System
What is a system?
An entity composed of
discrete parts which are
connected in such a
way that a change in
one part results in
changes in all other
parts
The Family as a System…
- exhibits circular changes
- has a tendency to resist change and maintain a
state of homeostasis
- reaches a state of equilibrium even if change
happens within the system
Structural Approach to Family Systems
• Pioneered by Dr. Salvador Minuchin
• Focus on family’s “STRUCTURE”
• It has to have clear hierarchy, roles, subsystems &
boundaries
• Family’s ability to adapt to stressors depends on
the clarity and appropriateness of its STRUCTURE
Understanding Families:
Elements of the Family System
• Structures
• Rules
 Overt
 Covert
• Boundaries
• Subsystems
• Roles
• Coalitions
• Power Structures
Structures
• Behavioral patterns repeated over and
over again
• Behavioral skeleton around which the
family is built
Exploring Structures: Series Questions
• “When situation A happens, what happens to
member 1?”
• “When this happens to member 1, what happens
to member 2?” When member 2 behaves in that
way what happens to member 3?
Rules
• Commonly agreed upon ways of dealing
with each other, dealing with situations,
and dealing with the external environment
• Overt Rules
• Covert Rules
Roles
• Specific function assigned to a family member
 Breadwinner
 Caregiver
 Symptom carrier
 “Family Doctor”
 “Medical Specialist”
Exploring Roles:
“Who-does-what-and-when” Questions
• “When someone gets sick in the family, who do
you usually go to first?
• “When that person does not know what to do,
who does he consult?
• “When the patient has to be admitted to the
hospital, whose permission must be obtained?”
Subsystems
• Subgroups within a family separated from
each other by a significant period of time
• Grandparental, parental, sibling
subsystems
Boundaries
• Special rules that govern the interactions
between subsystems in the family
• May be clear, rigid or diffuse
• Ideally, should be clear enough to prevent
interferences but flexible enough to allow
contact across subsystems
Boundaries
• Clear – with clarity and negotiable: allows
flexibility when family goes through periods of
change
• Rigid – not open to negotiations
• Diffuse – lack of clarity; intrusions by one
subsystem to another
Coalitions
• Alliances between members
• Informal groupings within the family of
people who usually side with each other
Eliciting Coalitions:
“Who agrees with whom” Questions
• “Who is the person that the patient usually
disagrees with in the family?
• “In case of a disagreement with that person, who
in the family agrees with the patient?”
• “Who in the family usually agrees with the other
person?
Power Structures
• Decision-makers
• Usually parental generation
Family Processes
• Enmeshment
• Disengagement
• Triangulation
Exploring Emotional Closeness and
Distance: “Closer-farther” Questions
• “Who is closest to this patient? After that person
who is next closest? And the next closest after
that?”
• “Who is the person who feels farthest away
emotionally from the patient? Then who is the
next farthest?
Circular Questions
• Series Questions
▫ Explores repetitive behavior
• “Who-does-what-and-when” Questions
▫ Explores different roles
Circular Questions
• “Closer-farther” Questions
▫ Explores emotional closeness and distance
• “Who agrees with whom” Questions
▫ Elicits information about coalitions
Family Map
• Application of Family Systems Concepts
• Characteristics : members
• Structure: boundaries, alliances, coalitions
• Process: enmeshment, disengagement
• Across time: intergenerational coalition

Illness Typology and Trajectory
Levels of Family Intervention
LEVELS OF FAMILY INTERVENTION
Doherty & Baird, 1987
Level 1: Minimal Involvement
Level 2: Ongoing medical information & advice
Level 3: Provision of emotional support
Level 4: Systematic assessment & planned intervention
Level 5: Family Therapy
Level 1: Minimal Involvement
• Doctor hardly sees the family
• Focus of treatment is mostly individual patient
• Family is involved only in medico-legal issues
• Example: Consent
Level 2: Ongoing Medical Information
and Advice
• Doctor involves the family by providing them
with information about patient’s illness
• Focus: Health education both patient & family
• Primarily cognitive in nature
• Example: Disclosure
Level 3: Provision of emotional support
• In addition to health education, the doctor :
▫ probes deeper into the emotional impact of
illness
▫ offers emotional support to the family
members
• Example: Family CEA
Level 4: Systematic assessment &
Planned Intervention
• Doctor makes systematic assessment of the
dynamics of the family and how it is interacting
with the illness
• Plans and carries out intervention to change
structures in the family so that health problem of
the patient can be better dealt with
Level 5: Family Therapy
• Optional for physicians
• Requires additional training
• Average family physicians will likely REFER to
professionals when confronted with family
dysfunctions that require this intervention

  • 21. The Family as a System… - exhibits circular changes - has a tendency to resist change and maintain a state of homeostasis - reaches a state of equilibrium even if change happens within the system
  • 22. Structural Approach to Family Systems • Pioneered by Dr. Salvador Minuchin • Focus on family’s “STRUCTURE” • It has to have clear hierarchy, roles, subsystems & boundaries • Family’s ability to adapt to stressors depends on the clarity and appropriateness of its STRUCTURE
  • 23. Understanding Families: Elements of the Family System • Structures • Rules  Overt  Covert • Boundaries • Subsystems • Roles • Coalitions • Power Structures
  • 24. Structures • Behavioral patterns repeated over and over again • Behavioral skeleton around which the family is built
  • 25. Exploring Structures: Series Questions • “When situation A happens, what happens to member 1?” • “When this happens to member 1, what happens to member 2?” When member 2 behaves in that way what happens to member 3?
  • 26. Rules • Commonly agreed upon ways of dealing with each other, dealing with situations, and dealing with the external environment • Overt Rules • Covert Rules

  • 29. Subsystems • Subgroups within a family separated from each other by a significant period of time • Grandparental, parental, sibling subsystems
  • 30. Boundaries • Special rules that govern the interactions between subsystems in the family • May be clear, rigid or diffuse • Ideally, should be clear enough to prevent interferences but flexible enough to allow contact across subsystems
  • 31. Boundaries • Clear – with clarity and negotiable: allows flexibility when family goes through periods of change • Rigid – not open to negotiations • Diffuse – lack of clarity; intrusions by one subsystem to another
  • 32. Coalitions • Alliances between members • Informal groupings within the family of people who usually side with each other
  • 33. Eliciting Coalitions: “Who agrees with whom” Questions • “Who is the person that the patient usually disagrees with in the family? • “In case of a disagreement with that person, who in the family agrees with the patient?” • “Who in the family usually agrees with the other person?
  • 34. Power Structures • Decision-makers • Usually parental generation
  • 35. Family Processes • Enmeshment • Disengagement • Triangulation
  • 36. Exploring Emotional Closeness and Distance: “Closer-farther” Questions • “Who is closest to this patient? After that person who is next closest? And the next closest after that?” • “Who is the person who feels farthest away emotionally from the patient? Then who is the next farthest?

  7. Enmeshment is a concept introduced by Salvador Minuchin to describe families where personal boundaries are diffuse, sub-systems undifferentiated, and over-concern for others leads to a loss of autonomous development Triangulation can occur in a variety of ways, but always involves a pair of family members incorporating or rejecting a third family member &amp;lt;number&amp;gt;
