FAMILIES
| A popular image of a family is one dad, one mom, 2.25 kids, one dog. The reality is that that has never been true for US families and certainly is not now. |
| More important than what constitutes a family, is the role of the family. I believe the role of the family is: |
| Each family has "rules" in addition to "roles." |
| Think of the family as a house; each member is a room. |
| Often, when a family is having problems, family counseling helps. The counselor can help you see the interactions from a new direction and help you initiate change. Many family dilemmas can be viewed as problems that can be solved. |
