本研究运用系统理论，探讨“强势”继家庭与“困难”继家庭的沟通策略，归纳出继家庭沟通优势的组合。共有90个深入的访谈进行了与继父母，父母和继子女从30个继家庭。继家庭，无论他们的实力，面临着7个主要挑战，在他们的发展：“感觉被抓住，”规范与非监护家庭的界限，父母角色的模糊性，“创伤性的结合，”争夺资源，冲突管理风格的差异，并建立团结作为一个家庭单位。然而，用于管理他们的沟通策略根据继家庭的实力而有所不同。一般来说，强大的继家庭报告使用日常谈话，更开放，花时间在一起作为一个家庭，沟通明确的规则和界限，参与解决家庭问题，促进非监护父母的积极形象，以及对他们的问题的严重性的看法更加一致。适当的边界整合的步骤家庭的影响进行了讨论。
This study used systems theory to examine the communication strategies that differentiate “strong” stepfamilies from stepfamilies having more difficulty, inductively deriving a composite of stepfamily “communication strengths.” A total of 90 in-depth interviews were conducted with stepparents, parents, and stepchildren from 30 stepfamilies. The stepfamilies, regardless of their strength, faced 7 primary challenges in their development: “feeling caught,” regulating boundaries with a noncustodial family, ambiguity of parental roles, “traumatic bonding,” vying for resources, discrepancies in conflict management styles, and building solidarity as a family unit. However, the communicative tactics used to manage them differed according to the strength of the stepfamily. In general, strong stepfamilies reported using everyday talk, more openness, spending time together as a family, communicating clear rules and boundaries, engaging in family problem solving, promoting a positive image of the noncustodial parent, and more consistency in perceptions about the severity of their problems. Implications for appropriate boundary integration in stepfamilies are discussed.
