External and Internal Symptoms in Children and Characteristics of the Family System: A Comparison of the Linear and Circumplex Models.

Yahav, Rivka

American Journal of Family Therapy, v30 n1 p39-56 Jan-Feb 2002

Investigated families of children with internalized versus externalized symptoms according to linear and curvilinear conceptions of circumplex model. It was hypothesized that externalized symptoms would result in family being classified as chaotic and disengaged, whereas internalized symptoms would result in being classified as rigid and enmeshed. Results supported the hypothesis only in part. (Contains 41 references and 2 tables.) (BF)
