Abstract
Abstract Refinements in a social learning perspective on the role of the family in the adaptation and adjustment of chronically ill individuals have been proposed and empirical tests of the validity of the model are beginning to be described. This article will describe an integrative cognitive-behavioral transactional model of family functioning that informs research on the influence of the family on the course of chronic disease. A rapidly evolving literature in the area of chronic pain is offered as an example of work based in part on this model. Suggestions for generalization of the model across the chronic illness domain are made.
