Grandchildhood: Adult Grandchildren's Perception of Their Role towards Their Grandparents from an Intergenerational Perspective
The study focuses on adult grandchildren's perception of their role towards their grandparents according to the perspectives of both generations: the grandchildren and the grandparents. This study proposes a definition of the role of the adult grandchild, including the expectations and obligations deriving from the role. The main theories that provide the conceptual framework for this study are Symbolic Interaction Theory, Exchange Theory and the…
The Non-Custodial Father: His Involvement in His Children's Lives and the Connection Between His Role and the Ex-Wife's, Child's and Father's Perception of That Role
The article presents research on the nature and frequency of the non-custodial father's (NCF) involvement in his children's lives. The study also examined the perception of this involvement by the non-custodial father, the ex-wife and one of their children (10-16 years old), and showed how these perceptions influenced actual involvement. The sample included 102 families who had been divorced for at least two years. The findings indicate that most…
Blame and family conflict: Symptomatic children as scapegoats
The study’s aim was to examine the relation between children’s symptom type, specifically externalized vs. internalized symptoms, and children’s perception of being blamed by family members for various family conflicts. The research hypothesis was based on theories of family therapy, in particular on the concept of scapegoating and projective identification processes. The subjects were chosen from treatment centres for children and adolescents, u…
New Immigrants' Perceptions of Family Life in Origin and Host Cultures: In-group and Out-group Favoritism Effect
This paper explores the degree of congruency of new immigrants' opinions regarding family life among, the in-group (the Soviet Jewish family) and the out-group (the veteran Israeli family). Contradictory tendencies are described: the one attributes positive characteristics to the in-group, and the other tends to view the out-group more favorably. The present study examines the impact of different factors (sense of well-being and satisfaction with…
The symptom‐carrying child as a preserver of the family unit
The aim of this study was to investigate the operational validity of the theoretical concept of the ‘symptom‐carrying child’. Its purpose was to examine whether, and to what extent, the symptom‐carrying child plays a central role in maintaining the internal balance and unity of the family, and whether he holds a focal position in ‘triangulation’. The research hypothesis was based on theories of family therapy, in particular on the concepts of the…

Analysis of these data shows a ris…

The Effect of Parenting Stress on Marital Quality: An Integrated Mother-Father Model
This study examines the hypothesis that the effect children have on their parents' marriages is due to stress in the parental role. A multivariate model was specified to assess the relationship between fathers' and mothers' parenting stress and their psychological well-being and perception of marital quality. In addition, the effects of 6 other variables were assessed: 2 competing roles (mother's employment and household division of labor), 2 chi…
Using a threat of divorce for maintaining family homeostasis within families in extreme distress (FED)
Intervention with Families in Extreme Distress (FED)
The FED (Families in Extreme Distress) Project described in this article was developed as an intervention model for families in extreme distress. The concept of families in extreme distress includes not only those families which have been widely regarded as multi-problem families for decades, but also those which may appear to be like any other middle class family. The dis- organization in family functioning that is created by an interaction of m…
Bereavement and mourning after a shipping disaster: The case for intervention
This paper describes the help given by the social services department of a shipping company to bereaved families following a shipping disaster. In the absence of clear, factual and prompt information from an authoritative source, there is a tendency for bereaved individuals to deny their loss and thereby delay the process of mourning and eventual recovery. Appropriate intervention and support can help to overcome this tendency as was seen in the …
The process of infantilization
Infantilization was identified by David Levy as one form of maternal over-protection. Recent research on child neglect in rural Appalachia suggested an intergenerational “cycle of infantilization” among mothers. A study was made, linking IQ decrement among a group of mildly retarded children to specific child-rearing practices of their mothers. The results clarify the development of the infantile personality, especially among handicapped children
