Compare and contrast linear causality and circular causality.
What will be an ideal response?
Linear causality is endorsed more often by individual therapists. It suggests that events from the past cause or determine events in the present in a unidirectional manner. Circular causality is endorsed more often by family therapists. It suggests that events influence each other in a reciprocal way, such that regardless of the original cause of a problem, it is maintained by ongoing interaction between family members.
