20. crisis
• Foster 1957 classifies family crisis into two types:

inflation and depression.
Reorganization Family Crisis

21. Loss of economic support-
Economic loss is a term of art which refers to
financial loss and damage suffered by a person who
is seen only on a balance sheet and not as physical
injury to person or property.
Death-
Death is an inevitable, universal process that
eventually occurs in all living organisms.
Severe and prolonged illness-
Severe means that you are not able to work at all,
or are not able to work on a regular basis and are
only able to earn a small amount.

22. Economic inflation-
Inflation is the decline of purchasing
power of a given currency over time. A
quantitative estimate of the rate at which
the decline in purchasing power occurs
can be reflected in the increase of an
average price level of a basket of
selected goods and services in an
economy over some period of time

23. Usual and Expected Crisis:
1.
• These problems arise daily in all families varying in time and
degree from family to family.
2.
• Among these some are beyond the control of the family members
for example war, deaths, accidents, illness, unemployment or
under employment. Each crisis involves corresponding changes in
the family. Poverty and sickness form a vicious partnership, each
helping the other to add to the miseries of mankind.

24. Crisis Arising From Family Conflict Situations.
• This type of crisis involves emancipation from over protection or
dependence upon families, feeling of being unwanted and rejected by
the parents and conflicts with the relatives and between brothers and
sisters, unwanted child in the family, illegal abortion or rejection after
birth, extra marital affairs, divorce and husband or wife nagging
irritating and complaining crisis.

• It includes alcoholics, jobless, delinquency, physical and mental
deterioration, premarital relationship, pregnancy of unmarried
daughter and presence of mentally deficient or physically
handicapped children in the family. Problems originate within the
family out of interpersonal relationship are known as intra-familial
and problems which are beyond the control of the individual family
due to economic depression or other calamities are known as extra-
familial crisis affect a number of families at the same time while the
intra-familial affects the members of a particular family.

25.  Effect of Crisis:

collectively. It creates sorrow, anger or anguish for family
members and they play their role without enthusiasm.
Crisis has short and long-term effects upon the family.
 Causes of Family Problems:
Inadequate interpersonal relationship, class membership
pressures, economic and other stresses, social disgrace are
the causes of family crisis and involves a threat to the
family organization to its form and structure.

26. Effects of Reorganization on Family Relationships
1. Parent-Child Relationships-
The primary effect of divorce (and of the parental conflict that
precedes the divorce) is a decline in the relationship between
parent and child. Immediately after a divorce, most parents have
two sets of problems: their adjustment to their own intra-
psychic conflicts and to their role as a divorced parent.
a. Support
b. Trust
c. Child's Early Departure from Home
2. Mother-Child Relationships
Children of divorced mothers have poorer and less stimulating
home environments. Furthermore, divorced mothers, despite
their best intentions, are less able than married mothers to give
emotional support to their children.

27. Father-Child Relationships
Divorced fathers, especially non-custodial fathers, do not fare
well with their children. Children from divorced families
receive less emotional support from their fathers than children
from intact families.
Sibling Relationships
Children of divorce are more likely to have hostile
relationships with their siblings than children from married
families.
Grandparent-Grandchild Relationships
Divorce negatively affects grandparent/grandchild
relationships. Paternal grandparents frequently cease to see
their grandchildren as their grandchildren’s contact with their
own father, the grandparents’ son, diminishes.
