Family Systems Theory
• A family as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts
• A change in 1 family member affects all family members
• The family is able to create a balance between change & stability
• A family system is part of a larger supra-system
• A family system is contains boundaries- beliefs, values, ideas and roles
• Family systems theory can assist nurses to understand a family as an
interconnected whole
• Does not always provide a view of the family over time, doesn’t always
provide explicit guidance to nurses
