A closer look at your patient's family situation can help you
develop a more effective treatment plan Family Behavioral Issues in
Health and Illness is a basic but thorough introduction to the
impact family dynamics can have on a person's health. Ideal as a
supplemental training text for healthcare professionals, this
unique book examines the connections between family and health,
presenting a concise summary of family systems theory, basic family
assessment, and the family life cycle. The book provides an
understanding of how the patterns and systems found in a diverse
range of family styles can create special health issues, and how
the ability to assess and anticipate those issues can ensure the
most comprehensive patient care and cost-effective management of
time and resources. As long as families continue to be the primary
environment where patients learn and develop their beliefs and
overall attitudes about life, it remains essential that any primary
healthcare model includes a strong background in family dynamics
and the critical, pivotal points of family life. Family Behavioral
Issues in Health and Illness addresses the most important aspects
of family to consider when providing care, presenting practical,
real-life case studies that examine the resilience, strengths, and
possibilities of families, as well as the problems and
dysfunctions. The book looks at how significant events, such as
marriage, divorce, birth, and death affect families, and how a
knowledge of special family issues, including parenting, abuse,
disability, and chronic illness prepares the healthcare
professional to provide effective care for traditional,
single-parent, multiracial, blended, adoptive, and same-gender
families. Family Behavioral Issues in Health and Illness examines:
