Family Systems Theory

The theory of family system first introduced by Kerr and Bowen in the year of 1988 is considered as the theory of human behaviour that defines the unit of family as the social system based on complexities as well as on the basis of influencing each other’s behaviour.

The theory based on family is important in building the perception towards the social norms and the behavioural changes in an individual while it has been introduced first by Kerr and Bowen in the year of 1988 is considered as the theory of human behaviour that defines the unit of family as the social system based on complexities as well as on the basis of influencing each other’s behaviour. The system as a whole is determined by these elements in the individual where the interconnection is determined by the family maintaining  the individual elements.

Family system based theory

The family systems based on the theory is important for the determination of the systemic analysis of a family while maintaining all the elements that an individual must follow to be good and well-mannered in the family. Several rules as well as regulations are been determined by the system theory of the family where the individual perspectives are also been considered and depending of that the theories like the Bowen theory, Kerr theory as well as the combined “Kerr and Bowen” based family system related theory is been undertaken by several researchers for the identification proper perspectives related to the behavioural outcome of an individual towards their family. The human systems based relationships are also determined by the family based systems while the emotion part is also undertaken here by the researcher. This theory undertaking arouses in the late 1950s has ripped the time ripe for the innovation related to psychology and also claimed that psychology does not only  reside into an individual but rather it is always being distributed in the system composed by the family based theory related to this system. 

“Kerr and Bowen Family system” based theory

The theory of family system first introduced by “Kerr and Bowen” in the year of 1988 is considered as the theory of human behaviour that defines the unit of family as the social system based on complexities as well as on the basis of influencing each other’s behaviour. The attraction between the people and also between the individuals from different families is the main concept of this theory by “Kerr and Bowen”. A wide variety of areas have been targeted for the introduction of this theory as psychotherapy as well as introducing it as family therapy. The human systems based relationships are also determined by the family based systems while the emotion part is also undertaken here by the researcher. The project based on the studies as well as the peaceful ambience provision where the main motives behind the studies and also the breaking up of the families due to internal classes are also motivated to be reduced with the undertaking of these theories based on the present systems. The medical family therapy is also been considered regarding this concept and based on this the family therapy that is medical based while tracking the emotion of the dynamics related to illness as well as facilitating the collaboration between the nurses and the doctors with the patients while minting the patients psychological health as well as mentality is considered as the main aim of this theory.

The definition of the roles as well as the expectations, issues related to the hierarchy and the boundaries as well as the loyalty conflicts and double binds have been eliminated with the introduction of this theory. Although this understanding required lots of education as well as perseverance and the will to make everything good while growing old in a healthy surrounding. 

Conclusion

It can be concluded from the above research that several theories according to the Family system based theory have been undertaken here in this research while the advantages based on this theory have been determined. The Theory of Kerr as well as Bowen has been undertaken here in the research as the major focus as this theory discussed every possible fact regarding the concert of Family system based theory. With the determination of this theory the definition of the roles as well as the expectations, issues related to the hierarchy and the boundaries as well as the loyalty conflicts and double binds can be eliminated while a pure behavioural relationship can be achieved making the world a happy place.
