Need this to be written on a 30 year old patient that have a child and lives with her parents, and grandparents. Because she is dying with cancer.
The family is in an enduring social institution, and today, many families are being impacted by the needs of the aging members. The family, as a unit, provides the link to understanding the inter generational history and heritage, acknowledgment of the present and the hope for the future of the family. The family of today deals with various challenges including social, cultural, ethnic, environmental, economic and socioeconomic, psycho social, community, and special issue concerns. Because families are unique and the development of the family depends on responses to common and uncommon experience shaping and molding the family environment, it is critical to understand all of the theoretical frameworks, multiple systems, and total processes of assessment and intervention options.
