Theories of Family Interaction

One goal is to become a social scientist and to understand the family in ways that are considered theories. There are four main theories that I want to review and mention how I have come to experience these theories not only from observation but in my friends and other families I have come familiar with. 1.        The systems theory (created in 1978 by Family Therapist    Murray Bowen) is broadly mentioned how a family functions as a system.

So you may wonder who is this guy! I'm Brandon. Born and raised on the tip of  the United States called Florida right in Orlando. I am a full time student majoring in the Family. I have always loved people and what can come from having a connection.  I thought I would write this blog to have a place to hold my thoughts and spread awareness about the greatest social connections we can enjoy and yes that is the Family unit. In this, as I learn and ponder from the greatest books of the earth, I would like to share my insights and opinions considering the Family. I can only anxiously wonder as the weeks go by what I may come across and decide to blog about associated with healthy relations within a Family. Well, cheers to the weeks ahead!
