This theory views the family as a whole rather than in parts. Whenever there is a problem in the family the problem does not lie in the individual but in the family itself. It seeks to explain why families behave the way they do. In my family certain boundaries are set for example depending on your age you could not stay out beyond certain hours and you have to obey failure to do so will result in you being punished.
There are certain traditions in my family that are established for example family trips and family reunion each year. This helps to strengthen the bond within the family.
A family must have certain rules that govern how each member behaves. From speaking with a parent I deduce that the child speaks to him any way and it was pointless at that time to correct her so he just stood there, all he was doing was blaming the mother for how the child relate to him. It is natural to want to play the blame game however as parents certain boundaries must be present in the household.
The family systems theory holds the family accountable for any deviation from the norm. Persons must be made accountable for their failure to make productive citizens. If there is a breakdown in the family then there will be a breakdown in society. In some families where both parents are separated certain behaviours that are considered correct to one parent might be a problem to the other parent.
