“…While suggest that the more extreme the disorder of a family member the more extreme the measures produced, Riskin and Faunce (1970) report that on many variables normal families tend to fall in the middle range, with the problem families at either extreme, depending upon the type of disturbance present.…”

“…It is. considered that low effective productivity and minimd information sharing is indicative of rigid, disturbed family interaction (Riskin and Faunce, 1970). It is conceivable that the inability of some suicidal adolescents to emit and receive meaningful verbal communication (Graff and Mallin, 1967;Fawcett et al, 1969) may originate in such defective family functioning.…”

While investigators have emphasized the importance of familial relations in the production of suicidal behaviour in adolescence, experimental evaluation of specific family interaction processes has, thus far, been neglected. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible relationships between adolescent suicidal behaviour and total on-going family functioning. Hypotheses were advanced to evaluate the communication, interaction and reinforcement patterns in families. A modified revealed differences technique was employed to elicit standardized segments of interaction which were video-taped and later studied by two independent raters. The sample consisted of twelve individually matched, intact family tetrads, six normal (N) and six containing an adolescent female who had exhibited suicidal behaviour (SM). Results suggest that SM families constitute a malfunctioning system which can be differentiated from that of normal samples. As compared with the N group, SM family interaction evidenced less effective productivity, specificity, and adaptive interaction, and higher rates of conflict and negative reinforcement. Overall findings were discussed in terms of current family theory and their possible relationship to the genesis, maintenance and management of some classes of suicidal behaviour.

“…It is defined as all those words one person utters until the next person starts talking, whether by interruption or after a natural pause. (Those who provide detailed coding manuals usually discuss the special case of simultaneous speeches, e.g., Riskin and Faunce [190].) The speech has been used, for example, by Lennard,et al (128); Haley (97,101); and Riskin and Faunce (191,192).…”

“…Codes involving more than one speech are typically used in sequential analysis. See, for example, Mishler and Waxler's Acknowledgement Code (155); Riskin and Faunce's Commitment Scale (190); and Haley's work on "who speaks after whom" (100).…”

“…It is a premise of family interaction research that measures derived from samples of family interaction can reflect the underlying structure of the family (19,38,43,44). Also, it has been suggested by several authors (32,42) that individual family members' perceptions of family structure contribute to the nature of that structure.…”

A Multi‐Method Investigation of Two Family Constructs

et al. 1978

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Two family constructs--prominence and interpersonal distance--are examined. Their origins are traced in the experimental and theoretical literature. The validity of each construct is investigated using data obtained from 15 families with a symptom-bearing child. Validity is supported in both cases through the occurrence of significant correlations among different measures of the same construct. It is suggested that the current distress of the families being studied may have increased the clarity of the prominence hierarchies and dyadic distances that emerged.
