Points of relevance between medical and sociological images of family life are discussed with emphasis upon family interaction, genetics, and familial epidemiology. Recent findings from medical and sociological research are reviewed with reference to the family functions of (a) physical well-being and health maintenance and (b) biological reproduction. The family is discussed as a unit in medical care. The conclusion is that, whereas most families appear to be supportive and helpful in times of crises such as illness, there are occasions when effective medical treatment requires an assessment of the diagnostic, treatment, and nursing patterns of the patient and his family
