Family Theory Application

Paper Summary:

The purpose of this paper is to select one of the theoretical frameworks that is applicable to family treatment, and it chooses the 'ecology theory'. Addressed are the essential features of the theoretical framework contained in this theory, as well as the relationships that this framework proposes. Further, the values underlying the theory are examined and the applicability of the theoretical framework for the study of families and as a basis for care of families. Specific examples are provided of the application to a particular population or situation involving family care. The published evidence for the usefulness of the theory, as well as the overall strengths and weaknesses of the theory, are examined. Finally, the congruency of the theory with formed ideas and beliefs about families and care of families are briefly discussed.

From the Paper:

"Among the relationships that exist the relationship between the human individual and the environment are implicit. The wave pattern environment has been defined as "an irreducible, pan dimensional energy field identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics different from those on parts, Each environment field is specific to its' given human field. Both change continuously and creatively. (Rogers, 1992) The ecological model is one that focuses on interaction and interdependence and how they connect among the levels. Interaction at the Meso Level can be evidenced through interaction among parents and babies."
