This document discusses family and marital counseling. It defines family as a basic social unit where members are economically and emotionally dependent on one another. It describes different types of normal and abnormal families. Family functioning includes problem solving, roles, emotional responsiveness, involvement, and behavioral control. Dysfunctional families fail in these areas. Common family problems relate to structure, substance use, caring for ill people, crises, abuse, and violence. Counseling solutions involve categorizing issues, getting family perspectives, finding problems, explaining mistakes, assigning homework, following up, and generalizing lessons. Qualities of resilient families are commitment, appreciation, good communication, strong values, and quality time together.
