CLD 231 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Erik Erikson
Document Summary
None of the theories below are right but they"re a way to look at family. Family systems theory (i. e. doing the wave) doing change in one part will cause change in another shirt. If you"re part of a whole, you"re connected to that who interconnected. Evaluation: recognizes how each family member impacts all parts as a whole, unhelpful suggests people are intentionally taking on roles (i. e. abuser and victim) Family motel: nasrah gets an a+ from a hard teacher, she"s not just fake smart but really smart. Exchange theory: micro perspective, how exchanges are made. Lack of value to make exchange: (i. e. i"ll give you cookies for your apple. You don"t have an apple, no cookies for you) Family motel: in exchange for getting an a+ on her paper, she wants to go to the slumber party: understand why people do what they do, suggests people are self-serving.
