Important concepts in family therapy
Boundaries

Enmeshed- boundaries are unclear, very open, and pliable
Disengaged- boundaries are rigid with little interaction and emotional engagement (tend to have very open boundaries around the family unit)
Family hierarchy- the power structure within the family
Homeostasis- family systems should maintain homeostasis or remain regular and stable, when this isn’t maintained families seek help
Alliances- partnerships within the family unit
Where interested groups can work together to create change or solve an identified community or societal problem
Allows community members to take ownership of the change and resulting policies
Social change process
