	Family (biology) - MSN Encarta
		Family (biology), in biological classification, group of genera with related characteristics.
		The names of families in modern classification are usually derived from a genus of the family, called the type genus.
		The family names of animals always end in idae, as in Equidae, the horse family; those of plants almost always end in aceae, as in Dipsacaceae, the teasel family.

	Module10J-Alcohol and the Family
		Family systems are sometimes described by therapists as being very difficult to redirect and resistant to change-once systems have achieved a level of stability or homeostasis, they apply concerted efforts to maintain their hard-earned balance.
		Families of individuals with alcohol use disorders are often characterized by conflict, chaos, communication problems, unpredictability, inconsistencies in messages to children, breakdown in rituals and traditional family rules, emotional and physical abuse (Connors, Donovan, and DiClemente, 2001).
		Families that minimize the drinking problem of an individual member are reflecting a process parallel to the individual who is in the precontemplation phase in stages of change concerning an alcohol use disorder.

	biology - Family law
		Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations including, but not limited to marriage, civil unions, divorce, spousal abuse, child custody and visitation, property, alimony, and child support awards, as well as child abuse issues, and adoption.
		Family courts typically deny faultless fathers their equal parental rights even when state law appears to require equal custody.
		Family court judges find unwelcome the task of rendering a judicial decision detached from the law and from any due process finding of fault, so they call on a court-appointed psychologist to provide his opinion of who should have custody.

		From the perspective of children, the family functions as a family of orientation: the family serves to locate children socially, and plays a major role in their enculturation and socialization.
		This kind of family occurs commonly where a division of labor requires the participation of both men and women, and where families have relatively high mobility.
		Typically, societies with conjugal families also favor neolocal residence; thus upon marriage a person separates from the nuclear family of their childhood (family of orientation) and forms a new nuclear family (family of procreation).

		For families coping with mental illness, the belief that people are the cause of the illness may be toxic to the family itself, poisoning relationships and intensifying the stress of caregiving, according to Elizabeth Robinson, an assistant professor at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
		Her studies are among the first to focus on the relationship between family functioning and causal attributions about mental illness -- that is, who or what is believed to be responsible for the illness.
		She later performed similar research with 38 minority family members who were the primary support of a relative with severe mental illness.

	Complexity and family structure
		In the family, the executive subsystem is that of the parents; the sibling subsystem is that of the children.
		Families are likeliest to be conflicted and symptomatic when key horizontal transitions like marriage, the birth of children, children going to school, children moving away from home, changes of jobs, etc. coincide with a resurfacing of vertical stressors like old emotional baggage.
		Coaching a widow through the loss of her husband, helping a couple let go of the last child to leave the nest, and restructuring an alcoholic family to eliminate drinking are second-order changes that alter the family fundamentally, bringing it to an entirely new structure and psychological place.

		This term encompasses a variety of methods characterized by focus on the family rather than the individual, usually including more than one family member in the psychotherapy session.
		The result is a new understanding of the nature of people's subpersonalities and how they operate as an inner ecology, as well as a new method for helping people change their inner worlds.
		Called the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, this approach is based on the premise that people's subpersonalities interact and change in many of the same ways that families or other human groups do.
