About this title

Synopsis

Integrating developmental and systems theories, the authors propose an original scenario by which to understand and treat the family unit. Under study here is the “primary triangle” of mother-father-infant. The authors provide a complex research paradigm for examining the interactional triangles formed in the family during the early years.
