Family Processes

Family Processes is a structural and functional construct in developmental psychopathology that refers to the dynamic patterns of interaction, communication, emotional expression, role negotiation, and problem-solving routines within familial systems, distinguished by their enduring influence on individual developmental trajectories, particularly in the emergence, maintenance, or resilience to psychopathology across the lifespan.
