The Family

Rehabilitation professionals are paying more attention to the family as an influential factor for rehabilitation of people with disabilities and as a recipient of professional services. This essay examines three common family theories that are often found in rehabilitation literature: stage theory, family systems theory, and family stress theory. Its primary purpose is to explore the implications of using each family theory as a tool for understanding families in the rehabilitation process. Every theory is certainly useful for providing professionals with information about some aspects of reality. Yet it may obscure other aspects, just as one cannot see the vase while seeing the two faces in Rubin's ambiguous figure. Rehabilitation professionals should consider whether the theory reveals the aspects that correspond to the goals of their practice.

Effects Of War

PurposeThis research aimed to describe and examine the effects of war followed by forced displacement on Syrian mothers and their children in terms of Reuben Hill's Family Stress Theory and identify essential elements to consider in social work practice with this population.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 Syrian mothers living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A thematic analysis at both a semantic and latent level was completed. A case study – “Noor” – was developed to offer insight into one Syrian woman's experiences and response to war-related stressors and displacement.FindingsThe findings from the analysis of the interviews and case study indicated that for Syrian families displaced by conflict the traumas of war were compounded by ongoing and multiple emotional and practical stressors, with ongoing experiences of “loss” being the significant stressor. Giving context to these findings highlights the demand and impost on the host countries, in this study, the UAE, to continue their significant humanitarian efforts to Syrian families.Research limitations/implicationsThese findings will assist social workers, humanitarian organisations and their staff and others working with Syrian families, to respond more effectively.Originality/valueThere is no research in evidence in the professional literature that addresses the effects of war on displaced Syrian families in terms of Reuben Hill's Family Stress Theory.
