For the last three generations, the men of the family have worked in logging. The younger son wants to go to college and become a marine biologist. His parents tell him that "logging is what our family does" and refuse to discuss the issue
The son chooses to pursue employment in logging rather than upset his parents' desires for their son. This family is experiencing: 1. Enmeshment.
2. Pseudohostility.
3. Pseudomutuality.
4. Schism.
3
Rationale: A family in which pseudomutuality occurs experiences persistent sameness in the structuring of roles, insistence on the desirability and appropriateness of family role structures, and intense concern over deviations from the role structure or emerging autonomy, and requires its members to give up their sense of personal identity. The family is not exhibiting pseudohostility in which there is chronic conflict, remoteness, or denial to negate hostility. Enmeshed families have diffuse boundaries. In schismatic families, adult partners devalue and undercut each other.
