Description Discussion Assignment Two: Family Systems Theory: A family is a dynamic system. It is a living organization of members who interact and influence each other. A change in any one component of the system will inevitably cause a change in the system, which will cause a change in the other components. Even a positive change can destabilize the system; however, the conscientious counselor can assist the family in establishing a new and healthy homeostasis.
