Family Relations

Some of the things we talked about in my family relations class this week were:

Symbolic Interaction Theories: There are behavioral symbols. All behavior means something.
Exchange Theory: The idea that there's something owed. Check balance.
Family Systems Theory: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Families operate as systems. Family behavior is influence by unspoken homes.
