Topic: Family System: East vs. West
What are some of the similarities and differences
between the two cultures?
Family System is a dynamic order of
people (with their intellectual, emotional, and behavioral processes) in mutual
interaction. The dramas of families are the dramas of life. Understanding the
patterns of behavior within a family can greatly benefit the wellbeing of all
family members. It is very important to understand that it is not the family
structure that is important, but the relationship within the family structure.
It is the relationship between the members of a family that provides a firm
emotional foundation.
Lena Huang, a marriage and family psychotherapist, has done
workshops for various organizations, among these, Uniondale Middle School,
Hofstra University, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Vytra Health Care.
