"Olivia and Ann's son, Ethan, was recently hospitalized with pneumonia. As a result, Olivia missed a week of work and pay, and Ann has been stretching herself thin both at work and home to make sure everything is getting done. With both of her parents busy, Ethan's sister, Denise, has begun having problems in school because she is not getting as much help with homework and studying." Ethan's illness and the subsequent effects illustrate the wholeness principle of Family Systems Theory. This principle of the family system suggests that if one person suffers any changes in the family, the whole family as a unit is affected by that change.
