MFT Circular Causality Final Exam.

Circular causality - CORRECT ANSWER (also called pseudofeedback, reciprocal causality, and mutual
causality) refers to mutual

interactions of causes and consequences.33 The effect of an event returns indirectly to influence the
original

event itself by way of one or more intermediate events.34



Circular causality - CORRECT ANSWER A affects B, which then affects A, and so on, in a circle of events
which modify each other.

• Example 1 - The father's drinking causes his son to drink. The son gets in trouble; this causes the
father

to get stressed out so he drinks, which then increases the son's drinking.



Circular causality - CORRECT ANSWER Other examples:

o A child cries, parent yells at the child, and the child cries more.

o A mother yells at her daughter for being late, the daughter decides to stay out late to get back at her

mom, who then gets upsets, yells at her daughter, and then grounds her, and so on.



Equifinality - CORRECT ANSWER refers to how the same results can be obtained by different means and
by starting from different

beginning points35. In other words, there are many different means to the same end, and no matter
where one

begins, the end will be the same3637 Even though the family systems may start from different beginning
points,

they have the ability to achieve the same goals through different means or developmental routes.



Equifinality - CORRECT ANSWER A simplistic Example: we may take different roads to campus, but we all
arrive at the same place.
