Salvador Minuchin developed structural family therapy, which assesses a family along different dimensions. This theory considers a family to be a single system and identifies chronic boundary problems in that system. Which of the following is not one of the boundary problems identified by Minuchin?
  1. Individuation
  2. Triangulation
  3. Stable coalition
  4. Detouring
Explanation
Answer: A - The three chronic boundary problems identified in Minuchin’s theory are triangulation, in which a child is caught in the middle of parents’ conflicts; detouring, in which parents express and redirect distress to a child; and stable coalition, in which one parent and the child unite against the other parent. Individuation is a necessary trait in healthy families, not a boundary problem.
