[Adolescence and family life cycle. Role of the pediatrician].

Adolescence observed as one of the step of the life cycle from the point of view of changes in the family. The role of paediatricians in the conversation with the adolescent and his parents is to pay attention to the influence that the whole family system could have on producing symptoms.

Resource theory and power in families: life cycle considerations.

We begin our discussion by outlining the usefulness of "resource theory" as a theoretical framework for the study of family power. This framework is then used to analyze changes in the balance of power between elderly parents and their middle-age children. With respect to intergenerational power relationships, we argue that the autonomy of elderly parents has increased, but their power and influence over adult children has decreased. This trend is likely to continue in coming decades. Resource theory is then utilized to analyze changes in marital power relationships as couples age. Most studies of power relationships between elderly spouses have an important limitation--they tend to reflect yesterday's definitions of male and female roles. Recent changes in these roles may significantly alter the social meanings of aging for both men and women in coming years.

The family life cycle: a forgotten variable in the study of women's employment and well-being.

One hundred and sixteen working-class housewives, part-time and full-time employees were compared on a range of well-being measures in three different lifestages. A group of factory employees was contrasted with a 'mixed occupation' group for a comparison of type of employment. The general contention that the association between employment and well-being would vary with position in the life cycle was confirmed for distress, physical illness and some of the satisfaction measures. Only one measure (personal competence) suggested that employment had a positive influence on well-being irrespective of lifestage. Young employees working for longer hours and older housewives were both defined as 'cases' by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). However, their profiles on the other well-being variables were very different.

Family diagnosis, life cycle and cultural context.

The authors think that the evolutionary perspective is fundamental in family diagnosis. Therefore, they remark the value and the limits of the use of "normal" life cycle of the family as a map to evaluate the family, to assign meaning to its difficulties and to single out the possible goals of therapy. By means of a case example, the authors show how it is possible to utilize profitably the idea of life cycle, bearing in mind the cultural context of the family.

Chronic illness and the family life-cycle.

Chronic illness is currently the outstanding health issue in the United States. It creates increased family stress, requires constant adaptation by the family members and poses a challenge to nurses to better understand and meet the needs of the family as well as the individual. This paper presents a psychosocial typology of chronic illness and discusses the importance of time phasing of the chronic illness. A conceptual framework for analysing the interaction of chronic illness with family and individual life-cycles is outlined. Knowledge of life-cycle stressors is essential for nurses to better delineate the relationship between the vertical and horizontal life stressors which affect the family system.
