Post by: joshman171 on Jan 20, 2018 The nurse therapist assessing a family system perceives the family to be poorly differentiated and determines that family members have little sense of individuality. A desirable outcome is that members will:
a. distinguish who is at fault for the family's dysfunction. b. develop their own values and beliefs instead of simply adopting those of others. c. become comfortable adhering to family norms and rules. d. integrate more effectively with other social systems.

Differentiation refers to the ability of the individual to establish a unique identity and still remain emotionally connected to the family of origin. Part of this process involves determining for oneself what one wishes to believe and value, rather than simply maintaining the values and beliefs of the other family members. Assigning fault for a family's dysfunction is rarely therapeutic (and rarely the fault of a single person). Adhering more strongly to the family's values would decrease differentiation, not increase it. Integrating effectively with social systems such as schools is desirable but is not pertinent to differentiation. |
