Family Functioning is a multifaceted construct within family science that denotes the dynamic processes and patterns of interaction through which a family organizes itself, adapts to stressors, and fulfills essential roles to maintain cohesion, communication, problem-solving, and emotional support, thereby distinguishing it from static assessments of family structure or composition.
