Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. By following a family's therapeutic treatment through the various stages of healing, Napier et al (1988) are able to create a link between family relationships and the manner in which they impact the individual as both a member of that family and a separate entity. This obvious connection to anthropology enables the authors to continue applying such a concept even as the family structure continues to change; it becomes quite apparent that even though this was the case, there were issues within that particular family structure that also remained the same. Even within the relationship itself, individuals often do not embrace the same meaning. In one session, the family's position is noted as being highly indicative of inner turmoil. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

as being highly indicative of inner turmoil: "The father and adolescent daughter sat next to each other in two of the chairs, and the mother sat alone on one
of the sofas. The youngest daughter was very near the mother in the little rocker. I noted the seating: each daughter with one of the parents, and the
parents separated" (Napier et al, 1988, p. PG). From the insightful perspective of Napier et al (1998), one can readily understand how
professional counseling and support groups are essential for family members who have suffered crises that span from seemingly insignificant issues to those that threaten the familys very foundation, inasmuch as
they have a great deal of emotional and psychological issues to process that often cannot be accomplished without the intervention of trained therapists. According to Oxford (1994), such counselors
"wield enormous power" (Oxford, 1994, p. PG) that can act as the turning point in many a troubled family structure. Witnessing the transformation of family members treated in this
particular book, the reader gains a significantly better understanding as to the subtle changes that occur over time that, when grouped together, bring about tremendous healing by demonstrating that "every
