From Family Therapy to Family Intervention

For many, family therapy refers to sessions in which all family members are present. Yet in contemporary psychiatry there are many ways to work with families in addition to this classic concept. This article proposes family intervention as an encompassing term for a new family paradigm in child and adolescent psychiatry. Developmental psychopathology is a guiding principle of this paradigm. A full range of ways to work with families clinically is described with clinical examples.

Trauma of the Heart: Augmenting the Family Paradigm to Stem the Spread of HIV/AIDS and to Facilitate Healing and Recovery in the Wake of HIV/AIDS

This article briefly reflects on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the African American community. The article suggests an alternative paradigm that views the high-risk behaviors that contribute to the spread of the virus as a reaction to ‘trauma of the heart’ as opposed to viewing the epidemic solely in terms of a lack of HIV and sexually transmitted disease awareness. It further suggests a pastoral intervention of expanding the paradigm of family beyond the classical nuclear construct to family as a system of individuals committed to embracing and ‘adopting’ individuals who have experienced trauma of the heart. This augmented understanding of family might provide an alternative to the high-risk behaviors that individuals may engage in during the search for affirmation, which all too often may contribute to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

THE CONCEPT OF THE MODERN FAMILY AS CONSTANTS OF CIVIL SOCIETY

The article deals with the conceptual aspects of the relationship of the family, civil society and the State. Development of a family paradigm in the context of requirement of formation of civil society – very significant research task. In spite of extensive material on a perspective of a family and civil society, the place of institute of a family in self-organization of civil society still didn’t become a subject of special research. Purpose: to investigate a role and a place of institute of a family in self-organization of civil society and to offer scientific justification of «a family paradigm» as social base of the self-organizing civil society. Method and methodology of carrying out work: the theoretical analysis of scientific li-terature on a perspective of a family and civil society. Results: In article is defended the concept about an immanent associativity of two social elements of society: family and civil society. The proof historical conditionality of their parallel development furnishes the methodological clue to development of a paradigm of a family in the context of formation of civil society. It is proved on big factual material that the family historically was a basis of civil society that is confirmed by researches of authors of non-classical and post-non-classical literature. The second aspect of the raised problem concerns identification of essence of civil society, in particular, of that model which gradually develops in the Russian society. The conclusion that to modern conditions of Russia there doesn’t correspond the former model is drawn and it is necessary to create a new paradigm of civil society. Developing the scientific concept of a family paradigm, in article the analysis of a condition of this institute becomes, there are given basic characteristics, which have to be its basis, the role of the state in this process is updating. The main conclusion consists that the put-forward recommendations following from qualitative parameters of the offered family model have important practical value. In the conditions of change of economic base of society, the vector of the Russian transformations has to define a role of institute of a family as the main social base of civil society.

일본의 가족 형태에 대한 연구사적 규명

There has been a shift between two paradigms (the nuclear-family paradigm and the modern family paradigm) in the sociology of family in Japan after the Second World War. Following the shift in the family system from the stem family to the conjugal family system, it is assumed that there has been a shift in the aspect of the family relationship from patriarchy to an egalitarian model of the family, signifying an egalitarian relationship between wives and husbands and children and parents. The present study investigates why there is a controversy about the modern family paradigm in Japan, with a focus on the concept of the modern family and its methodological limitations. Research questions including what was overlooked in the process of change in these two paradigms, in what process the family system underwent a change, and how there has been a shift from the stem family seeking family succession and continuity to the conjugal family system are investigated and discussed through a literature review.

Associations Among Child Perceptions of Parenting Support, Maternal Parenting Efficacy and Maternal Depressive Symptoms

Children and parents often rely on the support provided by non-parental adults such as extended family members. Expanding conceptualizations of social support beyond traditional nuclear family paradigms to include non-parental adults may be particularly relevant to identifying family strengths among economically disadvantaged and Latino families. In the present study, we examine the extent to which child reports of parenting support provided by non-parental adults are linked to variations in mother-reported parenting efficacy and depressive symptoms, and whether these associations vary according to maternal marital status and Latino/Hispanic race/ethnicity. The present study considers how child-reported social support specific to parenting is associated with maternal self-reported wellbeing among a community sample of 59 mothers and their 10–12 year-old children. Findings indicate that controlling for maternal perceptions of global social-emotional support, parenting support is inversely related to parenting efficacy among single mother and Latino/Hispanic families. Further, Latino/Hispanic children of mothers with higher levels of depressive symptoms report greater support from non-parental adults. These results suggest that parenting support may in this cross-sectional study be a response to maternal need. Further, the function of support from non-parental adults may vary for single-mother versus two-parent families, and Latino/Hispanic families in comparison to European American families.

Family networks and solidarity: continuity and change

At the end of the 1960s it had become obvious that the family as an object of analysis could not be reduced to the nuclear family. During the following decades, the focus of analysis has shifted from the statistical concept of household, implicitly related to the nuclear family to ties between households and intergenerational relationships. At present, it appears that the individual would shape her entourage of parents and significant others by combining affinities, space, distance, and proximity. This opens a new way of looking at the family with new tools for observation and new definitions. This themed section includes six articles based on surveys on the family networks conducted by researchers from different European countries and Quebec, where some fundamental questions related to this new approach are discussed. It appears that family networks play an important role in supporting social change and that they reveal the crucial role played by women hidden in the household and nuclear family paradigm. Finally, the question of continuity of the generational chain is analyzed in the change-oriented baby-boom generation.

Turkish Version of Shortened Family Resiliency Scale (FRAS): The Study of Validity and Reliability

Walsh (1998) conceptualized family resiliency as strength-oriented family paradigms and proposed three over-arching constructs (family belief systems, organization patterns, and communication processes) with nine sub-constructs. According to the Walsh (1998) model, Sixbey (2005) developed shortened Family Resiliency Scale (FRAS) with total 54 items, including 4 reverse items, formed by 4 Likert type. FRAS which consists of six factors, has α = 0.96. total reliability and has good concurrent criterion validity with three well known scales. The aim of this research is to adapt to FRAS into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The study was conducted on 433 students from Sakarya University Educational Departments. The participants were 304 (70%) female and 129 (30%) male, the mean age of the participants was 22 years. Firstly the language equivalency of the scale was found equivalent. Then total reliability was found α is .92 And to confirm the original scale\\’s structure in Turkish culture the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was executed and found that the model was well fit and Chi-Square value (x2/degree of freedom= 2.18, N=433) which was found to be significant for the adaptation of the model. The goodness of fit index values of the model were RMSEA=.058, CFI=.93, IFI=.92, GFI=.92, AGFI=.93, SRMR=.066). According to these values it can be said that the structural model of Family Resiliency was well fit to the Turkish culture.

Using Family Paradigms to Improve Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence-based practice (EBP) describes clinical decision making using research, clinical experience, and client values. For family-centered practices, the client's family is integral to this process. This article proposes that using family paradigms, a family science framework, may help elicit and understand client/family values within family-centered EBP. This article describes the family paradigms framework: 4 classic paradigms of "closed," "random," "open," and "synchronous." Its applicability to family-centered EBP is proposed using augmentative and alternative communication examples. A family-centered approach to EBP requires families to be an integral part of clinical decision making, but some families may need assistance in enumerating their views and values. Family paradigms (which consider how a family uses its resources of time, space, energy, and material in the pursuit of its goals of control, affect, meaning, and content) may be a way to elicit family values and preferences relevant to clinical decisions. Family and client values can be incorporated throughout the EBP steps. Considering family paradigms may increase awareness and understanding of how families' views of their goals and resources affect clinical decisions. Further research is needed into both the processes and effectiveness of using family paradigms to conduct family-centered EBP.

Biologic fundamentals of motherhood in the absence of genetic bonding. Learnings from oocyte donation (OD)

OBJECTIVE: Several studies demonstrate the capacity of reproductive systems to function without a sense of genetic belonging. A primed uterus accepts any healthy embryo; post partum breasts provide nourishing milk to any suckling baby, and challenging family paradigms, women are gifted with an immense capacity to love babies and build families beyond a genetic identity within family members. Our objective is to provide data to sustain that motherhood (capacity of a woman to implant an embryo, carry it through pregnancy and delivery, and nurture the newborn through successful breastfeeding) can be established in the absence of genetic dependence.

The cultural context model in clinical supervision.

This article introduces principles from the Cultural Context Model (CCM) on the training of master’s and doctoral level mental health professionals to the field of psychology, highlighting its consistencies using critical psychology principles. The main tenets of the CCM are described and illustrated with examples pertaining to clinical supervision. Clinical practice within the model is described to illustrate the learning tasks involved in the supervisory process. This system of clinical theory and practice offers an expanded family paradigm based on an analysis of societal patterns that contribute to social inequality organizing family and community life.

Single session work: intervenção única com a família e adolescente em conflito com a lei

Neste trabalho apresentamos e discutimos uma metodologia de avaliação familiar numa perspectiva da Single Session Work, que é baseada numa única intervenção, e se destina ao atendimento de adolescente em conflito com a lei. A avaliação familiar compreendeu os seguintes objetivos: levantar informações psicossociais que possibilitassem uma melhor compreensão das características da clientela atendida; compreender o paradigma familiar, identificando os elementos relacionados à eclosão da crise atual, entendendo por crise o envolvimento do adolescente com a Justiça; estimular as famílias a estabelecerem novos paradigmas, capazes de responder à crise. Acreditamos que esta metodologia pode ser útil no contexto judiciário, com essa população de adolescentes, que cumpre medidas socieducativas e que não apresenta demanda para transformações. Reconhecemos seu potencial de gerar informação, resgatar vínculos parentais, significar o ato delinqüente, por ser uma intervenção crítica pontual e que reativa as potencialidades e a criatividade tanto da família quanto da equipe técnica.

Sport and Leisure as Contexts for Fathering in Australian Families

The relationships that fathers have with their family in leisure contexts are reflected in their leisure and sport repertoires and identities. Family‐based leisure relationships are one significant mode through which they express connectedness with their children. This article builds on feminist studies of gendered leisure relations in families, and rejects approaches that conflate mothers’ and fathers’ experiences and meanings of family leisure into that of ‘parents’. In contrast it focuses on fathers’ gendered experience of family leisure to further our understanding of what ‘playing’ with children means in relation to the identity construction of fatherhood. It considers the nexus between fathers’ own leisure and sport repertoires, their understanding of their children’s identities and leisure needs, and their involvement in shared family leisure and their children’s leisure and sport activities. This article is based on a larger qualitative study of mothers, fathers and children in 28 Australian families. Both parents in each family were interviewed about their leisure involvements, children’s leisure activities and what they felt was the meaning and importance of family leisure. At least one child 10 years and older in each family was also interviewed. In addition a seven‐day diary was also used by parents (most usually mothers) to record the leisure activities of all family members prior to the interviews. Four themes emerged in the analysis of the interviews with fathers in the study. These themes were: the importance for fathers of being with children and doing leisure as a family; the family paradigm and fathering through the generations; sport as a dominant but not the only cultural context for fathering; and other leisure contexts in which non‐sporting fathers construct their fatherhood identity. The study suggests the possibility that for some Australian fathers, sport and leisure contexts as both physical and social spaces enable men to do the identity work of being an involved or ‘generative’ (i.e. guiding the next generation) father.

The Cultural Context Model in Supervision

This author illustrates a way to use the Cultural Context Model (CCM) in clinical supervision. The main tenets of the CCM are described and illustrated with examples pertaining to supervision. Clinical practice within the model is discussed to highlight the learning tasks involved in the supervisory process. The supervision process is embedded in a system of clinical theory and practice that offers an expanded family paradigm based on an analysis of societal based patterns that contribute to social inequality organizing family and community life. The author then addresses contextual gaps in training and places a social justice dimension at the forefront.

Women and Confucian Cultures in Premodern China, Korea, and Japan, and: Images of Women in Chinese Thought and Culture: Writings from the Pre-Qin Period through the Song Dynasty (review)

The two books reviewed here are important additions to gender studies relating to Asia, and particularly to China. They both serve to broaden understanding of the identity of women and their life experiences in premodern times, the first book geographically and the second ideologically. Women and Confucian Cultures is a collection of essays investigating the impact of Confucianism on the women of premodern China, Korea, and Japan. Images of Women in Chinese Thought and Culture is an edited volume of writings relating to gender from different schools of thought and genres in premodern China. Women and Confucian Cultures is in three parts: part 1, "Scripts of Male Dominance," contains four essays; part 2, "Propagating Confucian Virtues," contains three essays; part 3, "Female Education in Practice," and part 4, "Corporeal and Textual Expressions of Female Subjectivity," contain two essays each. Four of the eleven essays are on Japan, three are on Korea, and four are on China. By comparing the impact of Confucianism in these three countries, Women and Confucian Cultures enables us to see the impact of a group of homogeneous ideas within a developing school in three different cultures, producing different results. Although Confucianism, and especially Neo-Confucianism, signaled in all three countries a general reduction in women's rights and freedom, the studies show that each country has had a different "window of relaxation." In Japan, the introduction of classical Confucian rituals and laws meant the end of women's opportunity to rule the country, yet the last female tennô was able to appropriate the Confucian virtue of filiality to hold on to her rule for many more years (Joan Piggott, "The Last Classical Female Sovereign: Kôken-Shôtoku Tennô"). Hiroko Sekiguchi, in her essay, shows that certain characteristics of Japanese society prevented the patrilineal and patriarchal family model imported from the Tang from being put into practice completely, especially in the initial stages and arguably even after that (Hiroko Sekiguchi, "The Patriarchal [End Page 15] Family Paradigm in Eighth-Century Japan"). The promotion of female virtues through didactic texts for women in the Tokugawa period increased the opportunity for women to gain an education. Whether it was because the separation of the sexes was less rigorously enforced in Japan or because there was less of an emphasis in Japan on chastity, Tokugawa women had the advantage over their Korean and Chinese sisters of being able to travel to far-off places to further their education and also to go into teaching and school administration toward the end of the Tokugawa period (Martha C. Tocco, "Norms and Texts for Women's Education in Tokugawa Japan"). In China, music was assigned to female entertainers, and, despite the humiliation of being exploited for their beauty and talent, this gave them the opportunity to learn and develop musical skills. This allowed some of them to rise above the level of entertainer to become serious musicians (Joseph S. C. Lam, "The Presence and Absence of Female Musicians and Music in China"). The rise of Daoism to prominence in China also shaped the lives of women in a different way, creating variations on the generally Confucian theme (Suzanne E. Cahill, "Discipline and Transformation: Body and Practice in the Lives of Daoist Holy Women of Tang China"). Korean historian Kim Pusik's biographies of exemplary women in his Samguk sagi bring to light a flexible view of filiality and loyalty whereby part...
