Abstract:
The co-existence of types of social, environmental and family disadvantage and domains of family dysfunction is explored through individual interview and use of the Family Assessment Device in a cross-sectional study of 143 inner city families. The dependence upon social welfare by the family and the overall degree of disadvantage experienced both correlate significantly with all forms of family dysfunction.
