Family dynamics is about how things happen
in families, not necessarily why they happen, which separates the focus of family dynamics from the main emphasis in psychology.
Family dynamics (from a family systems perspective) emphasizes a sequence of behaviors—what happened first, then what happened, and then what followed. . . .
Family dynamics is the complement to the static or structural component of a family.
Why Study Family Dynamics?
• Family scientists and helping professionals
concerned with the well-being of families come
from many disciplines. Focusing on families,
these professionals have the power to support
optimal outcomes.
• Being well versed in family dynamics is
valuable to those working with individual
families or trying to influence public policy
decisions.
