Avoidantly attached children - Answer have emotionally unavailable parents. The child
will make initial attempts at seeking comfort from his or her caregiver, but when it
becomes apparent that the caregiver will not respond, the child eventually gives up
complimentarity - Answer refers to the reciprocity that is the defining feature of every
relationship
process/content - Answer Focus on "how" people talk rather than "what" they talk about;
the most productive shift a family therapist can make; focusing on the underlying
processes that are contributing to the content is key
enmeshment - Answer offers access to support, but at the expense of independence.
Enmeshed parents are loving and attentive; however, their children tend to be
dependent and may have trouble relating to people outside their family

status, and the presence or absence of children

therapy with defeatist narratives that tend to keep them from acting effectively-Michael

Personal Construct Theory - Answer According to George Kelly, we make sense of the
world by creating our own constructs of the environment. We interpret and organize
, events, and we make predictions that guide our actions on the basis of these
constructs.
Reframing techniques - Answer Process of redefining events from a different point of
view; relabeling behavior to shift how family members respond to it
constructivism - Answer teaches us to look beyond behavior to the ways we interpret
our experience. Moreover, in a world where all truth is relative, the perspective of the
therapist has no more claim to objectivity than that of the clients
social constructionism - Answer a sociological theory that argues that people actively
shape their reality through social interaction; it is therefore something that is
constructed, not inherent; it looks to uncover the ways in which individuals and groups
participate in the construction of their perceived social reality
Solution Focused Therapy - Answer the best way to solve a problem is to discover what
people do when they're not having the problem
triangles in family therapy - Answer Relationship problems often turn out to be triangular
(Bowen, 1978), even though it may not always be apparent
cybernetics - Answer when a family functions like a closed system, the response to a
problem may actually perpetuate it; to employ this concept clinically, therapists simply
identify how family members have been responding to their problems and then get them
to try something different.

togetherness and individuality
2. Differentation of self
3. Relationship Triangles
4. Understanding not problem-solving is the goal-ask process questions
5. Use of genograms to outline relational dynamics
Murray Bowen - Answer one of the pioneers of family therapy, emphasized theory as
opposed to technique, distinguishing his work from the more behaviorally oriented
family therapists. Bowen's extended family systems model is the most comprehensive
theory in family therapy. The goal in the Bowenian model is differentiation of self,
namely, the ability to remain oneself in the face of external influences, especially the
pressures of family life
Philip Guerin - Answer Guerin's highly articulated model outlines several therapeutic
goals, which emphasize the multigenerational context of families, working to calm the
emotional level of family members, and defining specific patterns of relationships within
families
