From the Paper:

"In familial situations the behavior of the individual serves some purpose within the family construct. Compatibility is achieved when the needs of the individual and family unit are in basic harmony. Human relationships throughout various stages of development, therefore, draw people together as well as drive them apart, determine how conflicts are managed, and how communication bonds are established. Basically family systems theory deals with family dynamics, developing structures, role identifications, communication patterns, hierarchical power models, and developmental stages. In today's high tech digital virtual world understanding the development of children has never been more difficult. Children are continually bombarded by stimuli that can and do affect their educational, moral, and cultural development on a daily basis."
