assumptions - ANSWER-Beliefs that are taken for granted or believed to be true.
▪ form the foundation underlying the theory.
breaking free from an abusive relationship - ANSWER-5. Starts with a seed of doubt
where a victim begins to question why they are in the relationship and allowing
themselves to be treated abusively.
6. The victim goes through a series of reappraisals of their situation, objective reflection
where they can evaluate their situation from an outside perspective, then self-reclaiming
actions where they begin to push back against the abuse in some form.
7. Victim experiences a paradigm shift, often triggered by a "last straw" event. This does
not necessarily need to be a big event, but something significant enough to bring the
victim to awareness and motivation to break from the abuse.
One notable problem is that abuse tends to sharply escalate at this point when the
victim attempts to leave the relationship.
childbearing stage - ANSWER-Having, adjusted to, and encouraging the development
of infants. Establishing a satisfying home for both parents and infants.
concepts - ANSWER-The terms and specific ideas used in building the theory.
Conflict/Critical (Feminist Theory and Conflict Theory)- - ANSWER-There are 2 groups
of people the Haves and Have-nots. Life is viewed as conflict between the 2 groups.
These theories raise consciousness of oppression and prejudice, etc. Generally: The
Haves do not want change and The Have-nots do want change which can result in
revolution, systems changes, etc.
critique of developmental theory - ANSWER-This theory is one of the narrower and less
general theories in family science. It is less general in that it deals with a fairly small part
of the elephant. It is also not widely used in research or application in the field.
Therefore, it is a useful but very limited perspective.
critique of exchange theory - ANSWER-The first criticism is that Social Exchange
Theory is not testable. A second problem area has to do with the conceptualization of
human beings painted by Social Exchange Theory. In this theoretical framework,
humans are seen as rational calculators, coming up with numerical equations to
represent their relational life. Many people object to this understanding of humans,
asking whether people really rationally calculate the costs and rewards to be realized
when engaging in a behavior or pursuing a relationship. A third problem area is related
, to the second. Critics wonder if people are really as self-interested as Social Exchange
Theory assumes.
critique of family systems theory - ANSWER-The systemic perspective has provided
many useful insights, but it also has a number of important limitations. The scholars who
developed this perspective ignored gender issues and abusive processes in family
systems. For many years the therapeutically oriented scholars also generally paid little
attention to the "ego" aspect of family systems or the subsystems inside them. They
focused their attention almost exclusively on the internal processes of conjugal families.
Several other aspects of the systemic perspective are limiting. This perspective is a very
broad and general way of thinking.
deductive reasoning - ANSWER-Taking a general idea from a theory and testing it to
tease out the details
descriptive function - ANSWER-help to name, classify, and organize phenomena in
such a way that we can understand them.
Dynamics of families with teens - ANSWER-▪ A rapid physical (sexual) cognitive and
psychosocial change that is going on for teenagers.
▪ The teens own separate identity is needed and sometime conflict with family values or
ideas.
▪ Concerns about the future (college, working, relationships, moving out)
▪ Teens want more freedom and sometimes emotional and physical space to do what
they want to do.
▪ Teens and parents trying to balance freedom with responsibly
▪ Parents are starting to establish new interests with more of their free time.
dynamics of family with violence - ANSWER-Abuse in families is characterized by the
following:
▪ Gradual isolation for the victim from other outside relationships and supports. Victim
may be cut off from extended family, friends, associates.
▪ Increased control by abuser.
▪ Emotional abuse accompanies physical abuse nearly 100% of the time.
▪ Victim has feelings of shame, self-blame, and often resigns self to situation.
▪ A victim's physical and emotional resources are diminished as a result of the abusive
relationship.
Abuse entanglement can be compared to a web where the victim becomes so bound in
the various threads of abuse that it becomes increasingly more difficult to escape.
Victims often look at their situation through the exchange theory weighing the cost vs.
rewards in the relationship.
A victim typically considers two questions regarding their abusive situation; will I be
better off, and can I do it?
There are multiple factors involved that make it difficult for a victim to break free from an
abusive relationship.
