Bibu Online - Family Therapy Course - Quiz

Family therapy, also referred to as couple and family therapy, marriage and family therapy, family systems therapy, and family counseling, is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. The different schools of family therapy have in common a belief that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in Read moresolutions often benefits clients. This involvement of families is commonly accomplished by their direct participation in the therapy session. The skills of the family therapist thus include the ability to influence conversations in a way that catalyses the strengths, wisdom, and support of the wider system. In the field's early years, many clinicians defined the family in a narrow, traditional manner usually including parents and children. As the field has evolved, the concept of the family is more commonly defined in terms of strongly supportive, long-term roles and relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage. The conceptual frameworks developed by family therapists, especially those of family systems theorists, have been applied to a wide range of human behavior, including organisational dynamics and the study of greatness.

    The origin of the term cybernetics means?

    • A.

      Transformer

    • B.

      Steersman

    • C.

      Mathematician

    • D.

      Information processing

    Correct Answer
    A. Self regulation
    Explanation
    The Macy Conferences introduced a new way of thinking about how systems maintain stability by emphasizing the concept of self-regulation. This means that systems have the ability to monitor and adjust their own behavior in order to maintain a desired state or goal. This breakthrough challenged traditional views that relied on past or future performance or preprogrammed goals to explain system stability. Instead, the Macy Conferences highlighted the importance of self-regulation as a key factor in understanding how systems maintain stability.

    • C.

      Double bind theory of schizophrenia

    • D.

      Feedback mechanisms

    Correct Answer
    C. Double bind theory of schizophrenia
    Explanation
    Bateson's contribution to family therapy was the development of the double bind theory of schizophrenia. This theory suggests that conflicting messages and expectations within the family can contribute to the development of schizophrenia in individuals. Bateson believed that these contradictory messages create a "no-win" situation for the individual, leading to confusion and emotional distress. This theory has had a significant impact on understanding the role of family dynamics in mental illness and has influenced the development of therapeutic approaches in family therapy.

    Reciprocal Determinism shifts attention from?

    • A.

      Historical facts to current problems

    • B.

      Relationship outlook to environmental outlook

    • C.

      Content to process

    • D.

      Fiction to fact

    Correct Answer
    C. Content to process
    Explanation
    Reciprocal determinism is a concept in psychology that suggests that a person's behavior is influenced by both internal factors (such as thoughts and beliefs) and external factors (such as the environment and social interactions). The answer "content to process" implies that reciprocal determinism shifts attention from focusing solely on the content of a person's behavior to considering the underlying processes that contribute to that behavior. In other words, it suggests that reciprocal determinism emphasizes understanding the thoughts, beliefs, and environmental influences that shape behavior, rather than just focusing on the observable actions themselves.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stimulus response fashion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "stimulus response fashion". This explanation suggests that content is the language of linear causality, meaning that one event leads to the next in a unidirectional manner. This implies that there is a stimulus that triggers a response, creating a cause-and-effect relationship.

    Rate this question:

    • B.

      Systems implications

    • C.

      Interpersonal events

    • D.

      Circular causality

    Correct Answer
    D. Circular causality
    Explanation
    Circular causality refers to a concept in which events or actions are seen as interconnected and mutually influencing each other in a continuous loop. Unlike linear causality, which suggests a one-way cause and effect relationship, circular causality recognizes the complex and dynamic nature of interactions. In this context, if content represents the language of linear causality, then process can be seen as the language of circular causality, as it refers to the ongoing and interconnected sequence of events and actions.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Circular causality is defined as; forces moving in many directions simultaneously, not simply a single event caused by a previous one. Example, within a family, any action by one member affects all other members and the family as a whole; each members response in turn prompts other responses that affect all other members, whose further reactions provoke still other responses, and so forth. such a reverberating efect in turn affects the first person in a continuous series of circular loops or recurring chains of influence. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Circular causality is defined as the concept that actions and events within a system, such as a family, are interconnected and influence each other in a continuous loop. This means that any action by one family member affects all other members and the family as a whole. Each member's response then prompts further responses from others, creating a chain of influence that reverberates throughout the system. Therefore, the statement "Circular causality is defined as forces moving in many directions simultaneously, not simply a single event caused by a previous one" is true.

    • B.

      Family functioning

    • C.

      Original action

    • D.

      Defiant adolescence

    Correct Answer
    C. Original action
    Explanation
    Within the family context, every action provokes a circular sequence that in turn helps change the original action. This means that when an action is taken within a family, it sets off a chain reaction of responses and behaviors from other family members. These responses then influence the original action, causing it to change or evolve. This dynamic process of interaction and influence between family members is what shapes family functioning and individual behavior.

    • B.

      Blaming the family

    • C.

      Scrutinising the history

    • D.

      Blaming the therapist

    Correct Answer
    A. Discovering the culprit.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "discovering the culprit" because the statement is discussing the requirement for change, which implies that something needs to be identified or found in order to bring about the desired change. In this case, the change is being referred to as "altering the process," suggesting that in order to make a change, it is necessary to discover who or what is responsible for the current situation or problem. This aligns with the idea that change often requires understanding the root cause or identifying the culprit before taking appropriate action.

    • F.

      Both B and C

    • G.

      Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    G. Both A and B
    Explanation
    Both A and B help govern the appearance of functional or dysfunctional patterns in a family system. The underlying organizational structure of a family system sets the foundation for how the family operates and interacts with each other. This structure includes roles, rules, and power dynamics within the family. Flexibility in responding to changing conditions throughout the life cycle is also important as it allows the family to adapt and adjust to new challenges and circumstances. This ability to be flexible helps determine whether the family system is able to function effectively or if it becomes dysfunctional. Communication occurring simultaneously at many levels is not mentioned as a factor that governs the appearance of functional or dysfunctional patterns in a family system.

      Structural changes must occur

    • C.

      A DSM diagnosis must be presented to the client

    • D.

      Limits to confidentiality and a payment plan must be discussed

    Correct Answer
    B. Structural changes must occur
    Explanation
    In Structural Family Therapy, it is believed that before an individual's symptoms can be reduced or extinguished, structural changes must occur. This means that the family system and its interactions need to be restructured in order to address the underlying issues that contribute to the individual's symptoms. By making changes to the family's dynamics and relationships, it is believed that the individual's symptoms can be alleviated. This approach focuses on the interconnectedness of family members and the impact that the family system has on individual functioning.

    The structure of the family represents the sum of the operational rules the family has evolved for carrying out its important functions. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because the structure of a family refers to the way in which the family members interact and the roles they play in carrying out important functions. These functions can include providing emotional support, financial stability, and socialization. Over time, families develop their own set of operational rules that govern how these functions are carried out. These rules can vary greatly between families and are influenced by factors such as culture, values, and individual personalities. Therefore, the structure of a family is indeed the sum of these operational rules that have evolved over time.

      Resistant to change

    • B.

      Unlikely to change until a family's changing circumstances cause tensions and imbalances within the system

    • C.

      Can only change with effective communication

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Resistant to change
    B. Unlikely to change until a family's changing circumstances cause tensions and imbalances within the system
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "resistant to change, unlikely to change until a family's changing circumstances cause tensions and imbalances within the system." This suggests that once the transactional patterns of a family are established, they tend to remain the same and are resistant to change. However, if the family's circumstances change, such as through tensions and imbalances, it may create a need for change in the transactional patterns. Effective communication is important for facilitating this change, but it is not the sole factor in bringing about change in the family's transactional patterns.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a relationship is based on oppositional exchange, it means that the individuals involved in the relationship have opposing views or behaviors. In such a scenario, the pattern of interaction between them is complementary, meaning that they complement each other's differences. This implies that their contrasting characteristics or actions fit together and create a balanced dynamic in the relationship. Therefore, the statement "if a relationship is based on oppositional exchange the pattern is complementary" is true.

    • D.

      Modern and postmodern

    Correct Answer
    C. Generic and idiosyncratic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "generic and idiosyncratic." In the context of family transactional patterns, "generic" refers to patterns that are common and shared among families, while "idiosyncratic" refers to patterns that are unique and specific to a particular family. This means that some aspects of a family's behavior may be influenced by societal norms and expectations (generic), while other aspects may be shaped by the family's own unique dynamics and experiences (idiosyncratic). These two sets of constraints work together to regulate the behavior of family members.

      Hierarchically organised

    • B.

      Complimentarity of functions

    • C.

      Symmetry of functions

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Hierarchically organised
    B. Complimentarity of functions
    Explanation
    Structuralists argue that in order for a family to function effectively, it should have a hierarchical structure where each member has a specific role and position within the family. This hierarchy ensures that there is a clear distribution of power and responsibilities, allowing the family to maintain order and stability. Additionally, structuralists believe that there should be a complementarity of functions within the family, meaning that each member has a unique role that contributes to the overall functioning of the family unit. This ensures that all necessary tasks and responsibilities are fulfilled.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    In Strategic therapy, interventions are directed at the rules that sustain the problem.

By targeting these rules, the therapist aims to disrupt the dysfunctional dynamics and create new, healthier patterns of interaction. This approach recognizes that the problem is not solely caused by an individual family member or the overall dysfunctional system, but rather by the specific rules that are in place and perpetuate the problem.
