| Abstract: | Sex rôle development proceeds throughout the family life-cycle. Significant transition points in the life-cycle may be times in which families get stuck because such development has been hampered in a variety of ways. A life-cycle view of sex rôle development in families has useful, practical implications for family therapists. A five-point model for such development is presented and its use in dealing with family-or-origin, hierarchical/structural and belief system issues in treatment is discussed. |
