Five Models of Marital and Family Types
The text defines and describes five (5) different models of marital and family types (Fitzpatrick, Bernstien, Kantor & Lehr, Reiss, and Olson). On the rest of this page describe your family, using concepts from at least three of the models. Give illustrations that show why you describe your family these ways.
Analyzing my family in light of different models of marital and family types, I am able to place my family into specific categories described by Fitzpatrick, Bernstein, and Reiss. For Fitzpatrick’s model of marital types - in which he identifies three basic types of marital relationships, Traditionals, Independents, and Separates - my parents’ marriage would fit most accurately with the Traditional couples. ...
In reference to the Bernstein model of family types, I would classify our family as person-oriented rather than positional oriented. Rather than assigning each member of our family a specific, permanent role and then expecting members to meet the expectations that go along with their roles, our family adapts our roles to the needs and attitudes of the members.
