- Title
WITHIN-FAMILY VARIABILITY: CASE STUDY OF AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY.
- Authors
Brooks, Laura R.
- Abstract
This article has two main goals. The first is to present the hypothesis that Bowen family systems theory provides an effective explanatory framework for understanding differential developmental outcomes of children in the same family. The second goal is to illustrate how qualitative methodology can provide data supporting that hypothesis. The article uses a grounded theory approach for coding archival data from transcripts of twelve annual interviews with one family. It closes with a discussion of how using qualitative methodology to analyze clinical data has the potential to provide an important link between research and clinical practice.
