Abstract
In this book, we have taken on a challenging task: to examine key links between family organizational and behavioral variables and the major types of psychopathology. Whenever one approaches a subject of such inherent complexity, it is critically important that it be done within the perspective of a clearly articulated theoretical orientation. Otherwise, it is all too easy to become lost in a flood of subjectively powerful data, a victim of empirical speculations.
