Family Psychology Assignment | Online Assignment

You are to comparing and contrasting observations of family dynamics (can be from a television show, You Tube video, church gathering, or real-life observation) and dynamics from a non-family group.

For assignment 4, you’re to explore the family dynamics by recognizing the patterns of relating, or interactions, between family members. Based on what you’ve learned this module, and observed, should children under the age of two be diagnosed with a men
tal disorder if they meet diagnostic criteria? What if family dynamics influenced the development of the disorder, would this change this perception of diagnosis? Please provide support for your arguments. You could include how your view would be informed by hypothetical data (i.e., “If we did the appropriate studies and discovered X, then it would argue for / against…”)
