Attachment in the stepfamily : a social work perspectiveCorrie, Lesley 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since demographers are predicting that by the year 2010 stepfamilies will be the most prevalent
type of family in the USA, it is not surprising that stepfamily members in South Africa also
constitute a significant proportion of the clients of therapists, counsellors and social workers.
From a developmental approach the present study examined attachment in stepfamilies with
children in middle childhood. The literature review was focused on research fmdings related to
the issues examined in the study. Information was collected using multiple informants and
multiple methods. These included interviews, questionnaires and checklists of attachment
behaviour symptoms. Because differences in perspectives were expected, information was sought
from parents and target children in order to obtain a broad view of family attachment. The
research design was qualitative and quantitative in nature.
The main fmdings revealed that, although stepfamily members considered their families to be
attached, factors such as the stepparent-stepchild relationship, length of marriage and unrealistic
expectations had a negative influence on attachment. Findings confirm that attachment to the
parents remain the primary source of security and that the child's willingness to participate in the
partnership, influence attachment.
The results clearly demonstrate that the children did not necessarily hold similar perceptions of
the attachment in the family as the parents. Attachment theory provided a framework for
understanding the complexities in stepfamily relationships.
A synopsis of social work intervention with stepfamilies was developed based on an extensive
literature study. Structured techniques within the five forms of play were used to consciously
replicate healthy parent-child relationships in order to facilitate attachment. A central feature of
the interventions discussed, is the active participation of the parent with whom the child is
expected to learn to form an attachment relationship. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die lig van demograwe se voorspelling dat stiefgesinne teen die jaar 2010 die mees algemene
gesinsvorm in die VSA gaan wees, is dit nie vreemd dat in Suid-Afrika stiefgesinne reeds 'n
beduidende persentasie van terapeute, beraders en maatskaplike werkers se ladings uitmaak nie.
Vanuit 'n ontwikkelings benadering is ondersoek ingestel na binding in stiefgesinne met 'n
kind/ers in die middelkinderjare. Die literatuurstudie het verband gehou met veranderlikes wat in
hierdie navorsing bestudeer is. Inligting is ingewin deur gebruik te maak van meervoudige
respondente en metodes. Dit het onderhoude, vraelyste en 'n oorsiglys van bindingsgedrag
ingesluit. Aangesien daar verwag is dat gesinslede se persepsies sal verskil, is kinders en ouers
genader ten einde 'n breë oorsig te verkry van gesinsbinding. Beide kwalitatiewe en
kwantitatiewe navorsingsmetodes is gebruik.
Bevindinge het aan die lig gebring dat lede van stiefgesinne opvallend ooreenstem oor die
binding in die gesin. Stiefouer-stiefkind verhoudings, die duur van die huwelik en onrealistiese
verwagtinge is van die veranderlikes wat blyk 'n invloed te hê op die vorming van binding.
Bevindinge bevestig dat kinders in die middelkinderjare se primêre binding steeds met die ouers
is, maar dat hierdie binding afhanklik is van die kind se bereidheid om te deel in hierdie
vennootskap.
Resultate dui ook onteenseglik daarop dat die kinders en ouers nie noodwendig saamstem in hulle
beoordeling van binding in die stiefgesin nie. Bindingsteorie het 'n raamwerk gebied vir die
bestudering van die kompleksiteit van stiefgesin verhoudinge.
Praktykgerigte maatskaplikwerk-hulpverleningstrategie~ is ontwikkel, gegrond op 'n uitgebreide
literatuurstudie. Die strategieë is gestruktureerd en gegrond op vyf spelvorme met
ondersteunende tegnieke. Deur normale bindingsgedrag tussen ouer en kind na te boots, word
binding gefasiliteer. Die sentrale kenmerk van hierdie hulpverleningstrategieë is die aktiewe
betrokkenheid van die stiefouer.

Cohesion and adaptability in the reconstituted familyMullins, Sue 01 April 2014 (has links)
M.A. (Counselling Psychology) / Family life is a universal human experience. The family is generally applIed to be the primary and almost powerful. system that an individual belongs to, as it shapes and determines the course and outcome of the lives of its members (Perkins & Kahan, 1979). Given this assumption, it is evident that the understanding of how differences in family structure affect family system functioning is vitally important. however, the impact of family structure on the family system has not been systematically examined by researchers. 'this is particularly true of the structurally unique system of the reconstituted family...
