Family Systems Theory by Murray Bowen is a specific approach which takes familial functioning into account. I am interested in how the concepts present in it will translate into a South Asian (or, to be more precise, the collectivistic framework of Pakistan) context? For instance, Bowen's theory is based on an understanding of nuclear family systems but how would it apply in the case of a joint family? In a culture where parents might be dependent on the views of the community in terms of bringing up children, how would Bowen's theories translate exactly (for instance, if they have a disabled child)? For example, what is the difference between Bowen's concepts of relationships between generations and the kinds that might emerge owing to different generations living under the same roof and with their extended family members as well?
Let's say, for instance, that it is not merely parents but also other members of the family such as extended family members or grandparents who either counsel children on "appropriate conduct" or even express disapproval and view it as appropriate behavior culturally. How do Murray's concepts such as "Differentiation" change in a cultural sense in that case just as one example out of many possible ones? In a culture where "adulthood" and transition towards it might exist in a legal sense but might not be necessarily viewed as "important" even for parental figures (for instance, even if children cross the age of 18, parents do not try to treat their children as "adults"), how would Bowen's concepts change? I am not talking in terms of applying these concepts therapeutically, but, in terms of how they might be applicable in a conceptual sense.

Bowen is from Pittsburgh which is not far where I reside. I am quite familiar with his ides.
Family is a crucial social unit. The subsystems are: sibling, parental and marital.
Siblings can have ready access to the parental subsystem but not the marital.
This is triangulation and the clinician must assist the couple to reduce it.

In practice, Social Work acts from different professional perspectives. For example, the legal case perspective must be methodically related to other case perspectives such as anamnesis and diagnosis within the framework of casework, ideally in a concrete way and with appropriate methodological awareness. It would be conceivable, for example, to subject the results of an introductory anamnesis and diagnosis to subsequent legal monitoring.
Are there scientific concepts or legal requirements for this methodological challenge in your country? Or do you tend to leave the meaningful linking of different case perspectives to the professional actors? What seems to make sense to you?

I am working on Abusive supervision as X value, Job stress as Y value and Work Family Conflict as a mediator and Procedural Justice as a moderator. While working on my data set in SPSS regression analysis shows a significant negative effect of moderator and my hypothesis is acceptable. But while cross validating with PROCESS it shows a different results and appears that moderation is insignificant. I am adding the results output of both SPSS and PROCESS for reference.
Could you please help how to interpret this?
Relevant answer
Answer
Different models, different results. Even if moderation and mediation are independent phenomena, the number of terms is different in each model. Hence, in the 'PROCESS' file your moderator is being adjusted for one additional variable. This is what I think...
Try to construct a multiple linear regression model with the 10 terms, and check if you can cross-validate it.

Work-family conflict (WFC) results when work interferes with family time or space; or when family matters interfere with work. These WFC events can cause tension within family or at work. Can you suggest what theoretical lens (or theories or conceptual frameworks) can be used from sociology, organisational theory, family literature, feminist studies or psychology or conflict literature to study WFC?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think the direction of your study drawing from your research questions and objectives are critical in determining your theoretical frame. For instance, if your study intend to probe the status quo of the family institution vis-a-vis the changes it effect or trigger, conflict theory, political economy theory or critical theory would be more appropraite for your study. But on the contrary, functionalist or system theory can be adopted for your study.

I recently looked at the literature on suicidality in preadolescence and early childhood. There is ample evidence that suicides and suicidal behavior occur in these populations though the suicide rate is low compared to adolescents. Joiner's IPPT has been applied to adolescent samples but not it seems to young children. Neither the theories of O'Connor ("Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model") or Klonsky and May ("Three Step") seem to have made any reference of applicability to non-adults. All three are psychological models that seem premised on the psychology and cognitive processes of mid-to-older adolescents and older individuals. Impulsiveness may play a somewhat larger role in very young children who may react or respond more quickly to triggers such as family conflict, arrive at suicide plans differently, and perhaps not ruminate on their plans in the same way as older individuals. On the other hand, very young children have been found to develop clear intent and seem exposed to experiences (e.g., abuse,  violence) that may yield acquired capability for lethal self-harm. Thoughts? 
Relevant answer
Answer
I am wordsmith, not a psychologist.  The definition of the word “anger” was changed in 1938.  Prior to that anger was identical to angst, or intense sorrow.  Anger is appropriately included in the grieving process, but it is the earlier definition to which we should pay attention.  Anger is now defined as a hostile passion.  It is a hostile passion directed inward.  Resentment is a hostile passion directed outward.
In the Bible, ancient Hebrews would rent their clothes and cover themselves with ashes, destroying their outward image.  In Mitchner’s Hawaii, loss of a close family member resulted in the survivor beating their face against lava rock, knocking out their teeth.  Anger is self-destructive.  Suicide is the extreme behavior associated with anger.  Homicide is the extreme behavior associated with resentment.
Grief is a natural response to loss, any loss.  The intensity of the grief is directly proportional to the value the individual places on the person or thing lost.  Two children each lose a doll.  For the first it is no big deal.  For the second, it is earth shattering.  Values may be imposed by society, or may be determined by the individual.
Another view on suicide.

I'm investigating empirically (mainly organizational pathologies and dysfunctional dynamics) issues related to the involvement of relatives by marriage in family firms
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Fillipo Ferrari.
If your perform an Internet search, for example, a Google search on the terms inbreeding and consanguinity you will probably find many theoretical and empirical references related to your question having to do with marriage between relatives.
It is likely that you have already done this. Is this were the case ignore my suggestion. Let me say that you question was, is, and will certainly be a highly debated topic, mainly because it has given rise to many theoretically debates and empirical research, and has profound social implications.
Best regards,
PS. Unfortunately "inbreeding", so to say, exists in many educational sets, universities, for example. When this is the case, promotion to the rank order of any type of professor (e.g., associate professor, full professor) is not generally based on one's merit, but rather on what may be called  "false friendship". This type of inbreeding is highly detrimental to a just functioning of schools, universities, and other organizations.  Of course, in this case, "inbreeding" is being used in a metaphorical rather than literal sense.

I was just curious, children are removed from a home when it is unsafe, when they have come to harm. I rarely, if ever hear of parents or caregivers facing actual criminal charges for the assault of a child and am I misinformed or is assaulting a child somehow inexplicably less of a crime than assaulting an adult?
Relevant answer
Answer
In Queensland (Australia) child protection, there is a difference in the burden of proof required by statutory protection services and their police counterparts. This often means that while we might gather enough evidence for child protection services to intervene (whether that be in-house interventions or removal of children until the risk is gone), there is not enough for the DPP to follow up with criminal charges. Unless it's something severe (i.e. a child has been hospitalized/requiring medical assistance, or in cases of extreme cumulative neglect), it rarely goes to criminal court. 
I hope that helps. I could take a look for statistics to support this if you need it.

The intent of the quantitative study will be to collect evidence of validity for a newly modified version of an existing measure (Proclivity to Apologize Measure; PAM) to explore the application of apologizing in a parent-child relationship. This modified measure will be coined the Parental-PAM (P-PAM) for the purposes of this study and follow on research if it is applied. To collect the necessary evidence of validity, the P-PAM scores will be collected with the Self-Compassion Scale (convergent evidence of validity) and the Self-Monitoring Scale (discriminant evidence of validity).

Can you clarify for me what you mean by "family functions".  When I was doing my doctorate, my faculty advisor Dr. Robert Cairns specialized in delinquency, development of gangs, development of aggression etc all varied with a wide variety of family, poverty (the biggest influence on almost anything), etc.  Family structure and practices was extraordinarily important in both a contributory as well as insulation against development of antisocial behaviors.  One interesting observation I made was the prevalence of what I call the "rose colored glasses" phenomenon.  We all see the world and ourselves a bit higher than the mean.  Even in high poverty areas, families still did not see their plight accurately.  This phenomenon seems to factor into things like school drop out.  The kids who you would anticipate from their academic and family issues and experiences are not necessarily the ones who drop out..  So you still have very poor African American males with responsibility for multiple children born when both parents were very young teens, few social skills and even fewer academic successes still having beliefs that are extremely optimistic.  When asked what they want to do after school, a typical inner city kid in an Urban culture in the US, will still say that he wants to go to college and be a fireman or a police officer etc.  This, while having flunked two or more grades.  Things don't get bad for lots of these kids until that optimistic view of possibilities is shattered.  Then they drop out, get into gangs etc.   Studying these kids is a very complicated task and if you really want to get a grasp on it not only do you have to look at loads of variables simultaneously but over a period of time.  
Family factors usually include parenting practices (coercive vs authoritative parenting), SES, parental involvement in school activities (not necessarily true in non US countries), religion as it affects belief and behaviors etc etc.  So I guess what I am trying to say is that there are thousands of researchers out there specializing in family factors and development of anti social behaviors so you have to be very very specific about what you are trying to study and how.  Are you looking at ethnographic kinds of studies based on external observations or are you looking at the high correlation of specific family factors and how they relate to the development of behaviors in adolescents.  When is the sweet spot for these influences to occur across time?  When do we need to intervene and how?  Is what you are doing descriptive or prescriptive?  I would love more information of what you are trying to do and what your methodology would be.

I have worked in international conflict dispute areas focusing on two areas (1) international parental abduction and (2) peace processes/building. Both areas focus on the MENA region where I have worked for nearly 20 years. I have found more similarities between the two types of conflicts than any other with religion being not only central to the conflict - but their appears to be an inherited component of the dispute.
Relevant answer
Answer
I'd add female circumcision and forced/underage marriages to the parental abduction issue.  They are matters of public concern here in Australia that generate social division within both the broader Australian community and its ethnic minorities, and generational divisions within those ethnic communities between the young growing up in a 'western' culture and their more traditionally focused families.  And these issues also then contribute to broader resentments and feelings of being discriminated against, and denied the right to practice their own cultures and beliefs.
On a different note, think of polygamy in the United States in the Mormon Church, which saw them first going into virtual exile in Utah, and later abandoning polygamy in the mainstream Mormon church.

I am looking for some literature on role of family in development and maintainance of OCD. My main intention is to look for the mostly unacknowledged role that parents play in the development of OCD. Though the most acceptable and communicable fact about OCD is that it is biological in nature and it runs in families, and can be managed by ERP like behavioral techniques. In past few decades the emphasis has been on these areas mainly. But this has lead to neglecting the role that parenting can have in developing or maintaining ocd. Like communication patterns, expressed emotion, unrealistic discipling etc. can contribute to developing ocd. I haven't been able to find much literature about this issue. In an interview one can easily look for signs of faulty communication patterns that exist between the patient and one of the parent, like one can find in parents of ADHD and ODD children. Then why the whole focus of therapy restricts to ERP and management of patient only. Are we missing an important aspect of OCD?
