Family Systems practice in pediatric psychology
Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 2002Co-Authors: Anne E Kazak, Steven Simms, Mary T RourkeAbstract:Objective: To present a pediatric psychology consultation treatment framework based on Family Systems and developmental theories. Methods: After reviewing background relevant to Family Systems interventions, a five-step protocol (referral, assessment, collaboration, outcome) for consultation is presented, using case examples from our pediatric oncology service, to illustrate joining, focusing, promoting competence and collaboration with patients, families, and staff. Results: Using protocols based on Family Systems frameworks, pediatric psychologists can offer Systemsoriented consultation to patients, families, and healthcare teams. Conclusions: Further development and evaluation of Family Systems protocols are necessary to understand the efficacy of these approaches and their role in training and practice.

The Integration of a Family Systems Approach for Understanding Youth Obesity, Physical Activity, and Dietary Programs
Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, 2010Co-Authors: Heather Kitzman-ulrich, Dawn K. Wilson, Sara M. George, Hannah Lawman, Michelle Segal, Amanda FairchildAbstract:Rates of overweight in youth have reached epidemic proportions and are associated with adverse health outcomes. Family-based programs have been widely used to treat overweight in youth. However, few programs incorporate a theoretical framework for studying a Family Systems approach in relation to youth health behavior change. Therefore, this review provides a Family Systems theory framework for evaluating Family-level variables in weight loss, physical activity, and dietary approaches in youth. Studies were reviewed and effect sizes were calculated for interventions that manipulated the Family system, including components that targeted parenting styles, parenting skills, or Family functioning, or which had novel approaches for including the Family. Twenty-one weight loss interventions were identified, and 25 interventions related to physical activity and/or diet were identified. Overall, Family-based treatment programs that incorporated training for authoritative parenting styles, parenting skills, or child management, and Family functioning had positive effects on youth weight loss. Programs to improve physical activity and dietary behaviors that targeted the Family system also demonstrated improvements in youth health behaviors; however, direct effects of parent-targeted programming is not clear. Both treatment and prevention programs would benefit from evaluating Family functioning and parenting styles as possible mediators of intervention outcomes. Recommendations are provided to guide the development of future Family-based obesity prevention and treatment programs for youth.

An overview of Family Systems approaches to library management
Library Management, 2003Co-Authors: Mark StoverAbstract:Family Systems theory has often been applied to the organizational environment. This article presents an overview of Family Systems approaches to management, with particular focus on libraries and information technology. Some of the Family Systems concepts that can be applied to the library environment include differentiation, mystification, emotional triangles, and pseudomutuality. Some of the positive aspects of a Family system that are relevant to the organizational context include stages of development, Family rituals, and Family stories. Through examples and vignettes, the author demonstrates the application of Family Systems theory to the field of library management.

use of the collaborative drawing technique in school counseling practicum an illustration of Family Systems
Counselor Education and Supervision, 2000Co-Authors: Patricia Van VelsorAbstract:According to the extant school consultation literature, counselors can effectively use brief Family interventions and Family assessment procedures in schools as part of a collaborative consultation approach. School counselors, however, often lack training in Family Systems theory, because counselor training programs tend to use individual counseling models. When used in a school counselor practicum course, the Collaborative Drawing Technique (CDT; G. M. Smith, 1985) introduces counselors-in-training to Family Systems concepts and lays the foundation for postgraduate training in Family Systems. The authors use a case illustration to explore paradigmatic shifts in trainees' case conceptualizations as a function of their use of the CDT with a Family.
