This article examines the conceptualization and treatment of families during normative and non-normative life transitions. Variables identified by individual and family developmental theorists account for some variation in responses of families to life transitions. Three family variables are identified as critical to practitioners' understanding of families: disruption of time schedules, number of new decisions involving initial disagreement, and pretransition family conflict. Different responses are hypothesized for families high or low on each variable. Six treatments of families are identified: historical family therapy, structure/process family therapy, experiential family therapy, psychoeducational approaches, family crisis intervention, and enrichment. The likelihood of success of each treatment is predicted on the basis of a family's response to the transition.
本文探讨了在正常和非正常生活转变过程中家庭的概念化及治疗。个体和家庭发展理论家所确定的变量解释了家庭对生活转变反应中的一些差异。有三个家庭变量被认为对从业者理解家庭至关重要：时间表的打乱、涉及最初分歧的新决策数量以及转变前的家庭冲突。针对每个变量得分高或低的家庭，假设了不同的反应。确定了六种家庭治疗方法：历史家庭治疗、结构/过程家庭治疗、体验式家庭治疗、心理教育方法、家庭危机干预和充实。根据家庭对转变的反应预测了每种治疗方法成功的可能性。
