Abstract

This article identifies six characteristics in families that are subject to changing during crisis situations: (a) roles, (b) boundaries, (c) communication, (d) rules/processes, (e) goals, and (f) values. Understanding changes in these characteristics provides valuable information for helping crisis counselors assist families cope with and resolve the crisis. Identification of these characteristics is a step toward development of a theoretical model for helping families in crisis.
