Abstract
Ideas about the association between family interaction patterns and mental health have inspired a great deal of research on family relationships. Conventional statistical models (e.g., analysis of variance), however, are not suited for the analysis of the nonindependent observations produced by family systems; yet, these sources of nonindependence (e.g., reciprocity, partner effects) are very interesting to many family researchers. This article demonstrates how structural equation modeling enables the study of family processes in a way that is consistent with a systems perspective. An analysis of perceived coerciveness in 2-parent, 2-child families illustrates the method.

A circumplex model is developed as a tool for clinical diagnosis and for specifying treatment goals with couples and families that proposes that a balanced level of both cohesion and adaptability is the most functional to marital and family development.

Adolescents whose parents had both a pathologic affective style of communication and a high level of communication deviance had schizophrenia-like disorders develop in young adulthood, and adolescents of parents who had both lower levels of communicationDeviance and a benign affectivestyle had offspring with healthier outcomes.

Results from 70 families who had sought clinical services for an adolescent family member suggest that adolescents elicit the negative parental affective style that puts them at risk and that elicitation ofnegative parental affect is strongly tied to adolescents' expression of negative affect toward their parents.
