Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. General systems theory is focused upon the family as a whole not the individual educational accomplishments or involvement in the economic workplace.
B Incorrect. General systems theory must assess all relationships of the family and its members.
C Correct. The family is defined as a system characterized by continual interaction between its members and with the environment. The interrelationships in a family system are closely tied together so that a change in one member results in a change in the other members. Therefore, one cannot understand the family as a whole by only knowing each of its members. The interrelationships of the members with each other and with the larger society must be analyzed.
D Incorrect. The general systems theory is concerned with the present, not the past.

Answer to Question 2

A
The child should be allowed to help the mother care for the infant. The child feels that the baby will come first, and needs to understand that he or she is still important. A child of this age may view the baby as a pet, rather than a person. This is not encouraged. The child may display regressive behavior to help cope. This should not be punished.
