Question 2
What is meant by the term symptom functionality in family systems theory?
a. Each symptom serves a function for the identified patient. If the therapist can figure out that function, then the identified patient can learn to substitute a more acceptable behavior for the symptom.
b. As long as a symptom functions to regulate or absorb the excess anxiety in the family unit, the remainder of the unit may be relatively symptom free.
c. Each symptom serves a function for the identified patient. Knowing that, the therapist explores with the client whether the consequences are more onerous than the benefits.

e. Symptoms create excess anxiety in the unit, causing symptoms in other system or family members.
