Researchers used two groups of families based in the level of socially accepted parenting methods. An independent control group of families with traditionally accepted married parents, and the dependent group of non-traditional families: single mother homes: commune environments, and non-legally married couples. It was this comparison which researchers hoped to help prove their hypothesis.
The study used a variety of measures to track families both before and after birth of their child. Interviews and questionnaires began in the last trimester of the pregnancy and lasted until the child was 18 years old. These methods were used to report family environment and peer influence. During the child's first and second grade years, teachers were also asked to rate the child's competence in the classroom.

Only 51 married couples made up the independent variable. Then there were 53 "social contract couples," 54 commune families, and 47 single mother homes. Mothers were on average 25 years old, with fathers around 28. Most were actually expecting their first child, around 75% of families.
However, this study also presents some weaknesses and limitations within the methodological framework. Results were based on self-descriptions of peer relationships based on questionnaires and interviews. Therefore without the objective observations of the peers themselves, this study is limited to how truthful its predictions actually are. Although it gives greater depth, more is needed to establish the context of each individual…

Family Therapy and Anorexia Nervosa Family Therapy & Anorexia Nervosa This paper is a literature review and discussion of how family therapy approaches anorexia nervosa. The premise for most of the research conducted using family based therapy is a theory by Salvador Minuchin and Mara Selvini from the 1970s that states in order for a sufferer of anorexia nervosa to recover the "family's structure or style of management [of problems] needs to
Clinical Interventions With Families- Critical Family Transition Paper Family Identity An individual's family of origin denotes the family he/she was raised in, as against the persons he/she resides with at present; it represents the place where individuals, normally, are trained to become what they currently are (i.e., where their adulthood identity is developed). It is an individual's biological/adoptive family that teaches one how he/she must process emotions, communicate with others, and
Family of Origin The origin of the family describes the family in which one is grown up, inter-family interactions and relations between one's parents', siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Family chosen for this particular assessment was a large family that seemed likely to provide plenty of interesting anomalies and peculiarities. The structural assessment of the family includes three aspects; 1) internal, 2) external, and 3) context. The internal aspect is composed of who is in the family and how they are connected. This family has two parents; a man and a woman (although the father recently passed away). The
