Abstract
Family structure during adolescence can be conceptualized in terms of changes in a basic dominance-submission family model. While the latency age child usually accepts the father as the dominant decision maker, and the mother as centrally executive, the developing adolescent demands a more powerful role in the family. A number of possible crisis situations from early to late adolescence are described using the model, and strategies for therapy are outlined.
