“…Once again, this finding may be another indicator of LC boys' greater resources for coping with family conflict, compared with sons from conflictual homes. When faced with these simulated conflicts, LC boys are able to offer options for rules and structuring in the family, which may be an adaptive approach to problem solving (Reiss & Klein, 1987).…”

“…Children's efforts to cope with conflict could be reflected in the attitudes and beliefs they adopt about what is desirable and normal in a family and in the rules and strategies they develop in an attempt to cope with family conflict. Although some strategies are adaptive and may facilitate problem solving, other strategies are maladaptive, rigid, unrealistic and irrational and may restrict problem solving (Ellis, 1977; Meichenbaum, 1975; Reiss & Klein, 1987). Advocates of cognitive therapy propose that changing maladaptive beliefs can alleviate a broad range of psychological distress.…”

This study examined cognitive and emotional reactions to family discussions as experienced by sons and mothers from homes with physically aggressive (PA), verbally aggressive (VA), and low-conflict (LC) marital relationships. Boys of PA couples demonstrated more self-interference, self-distraction, and arousal and less criticism than did other sons in reaction to stimulated parental conflict. Boys of LC parents were more optimistic about family conflict and articulated more ideas concerning family structure and how conflict "should" proceed than did other sons. PA mothers made more positive evaluations and offered more autocratic suggestions than did VA mothers. Also, LC mothers, compared with both conflictual groups, made more democratic statements in response to low-conflict situations. These results indicate that marital conflict experienced in the home may influence sons' and mothers' appraisals of family and marital interactions.

“…Thus, a family identity may have to be pieced together from family myths, rituals, significant events, espoused and implicit values, and so forth. Reiss and Klein (1987) have begun to tackle the methodological problem of how to determine the “group properties” of families (what they call the “family paradigm”). These authors view the evidence of such properties as residing not in “similarity of behaviors” bur rather in “regularity of interactions” (Reiss & Klein, 1987, p. 246).…”

Thus, the notion of what it means to be a Smith or a Jones involves a collective identity that unites diverse individuals “not because they are alike or resemble one another, but because they are cooperating in a common task” (Cassirer, 1960, pp.…”

This article describes a theoretical integration of individual and family therapies. It is based on a structural-developmental perspective that reveals structural and adaptational similarities across diverse levels of organization-transactional, interpersonal, and intrapsychic. The common use of structural-developmental principles in a number of diverse theories provides a basis for integrating those theories. In addition, structural-developmental goals provide a basis for meaningfully combining (integrating) techniques from diverse approaches. The proposed approach to integration increases the intervention options in individual, marital, and family therapies and provides the therapist with a great deal of flexibility regarding how and where to intervene in a given system.

“…Reiss and colleagues have studied a broad range of families in diverse situations, including families with members who have end‐stage renal disease, schizophrenia, or chemical dependency, as well as nonclinical families. Findings indicate that each family has a unique character and construction of reality (Reiss & Klein, 1987).…”

Family Perceptions of Living with Alzheimer's Disease

1994

The purpose of this study was to identify the major themes that 38 multigenerational families emphasized in their conversations about living with Alzheimer's disease. Interviews were conducted with families that were providing home care in the early stages of the disease. Family perceptions were analyzed with the aid of a computer content analysis program. Families emphasized four themes: (a) the awareness that something was "wrong"; (b) the uncertain nature of the diagnosis; (c) excluding a family member; and (d) the ambiguous nature of family life with Alzheimer's disease.
