open vs closed system
Open: a living system, constantly exchanging energy, information and matter
(resources) with the environment, the greater the openness the greater possibility for
change. i.e. (couple agreeing to go to therapy together).
Closed: a closed family system is isolated from its environment, the greater the closure the less
possibility of change, does not exchange information, energy and matter (resources) with the
environment
Change
-every family member is a part of a system
- a change in one part of the system (family) will cause a change in other parts of the system
- change requires adaptation of every member of the family as roles & functions take on new
meanings
- once change occurs the system does not revert back to its' former state
i.e. ( family member going to jail for drugs. Their family will never look at the the same way
again).
Example of a system(s)
- family
- school
- work
-church
-extended family
