家庭系统的观点与发展精神病理学的整合提供了一个框架，研究家庭过程和儿童精神病理学的发展轨迹之间的复杂的相互作用，随着时间的推移。在一个由98个家庭组成的社区样本中，我们调查了家庭关系的演变，跨越家庭的多个子系统（即，父母之间、母亲与子女之间、父亲与子女之间），以及这些不断变化的家庭动态对儿童内化症状的发展轨迹的影响，从学龄前到青春期前。亲子关系的质量，观察在漫长的会议，包括多个自然，精心编写的上下文。每位家长都完成了关于亲子关系满意度和儿童内化症状的报告。随着时间的推移，母亲对父母间关系的满意度下降得更快，孩子们也会以更快的速度出现内化症状。此外，症状以更快的速度升级到消极的母子关系质量增加（母亲和孩子表达更多的负面影响，更大的母亲权力主张）和积极的母子关系质量下降（母亲和孩子表达较少的积极影响，较少的温暖和积极的互惠）的程度。时间滞后的生长曲线分析建立了时间的优先顺序，使下降的家庭关系之前升级的儿童内化症状。结果表明，家庭功能障碍，在多个子系统，代表了儿童内化症状的进展的驱动力。
An integration of family systems perspectives with developmental psychopathology provides a framework for examining the complex interplay between family processes and developmental trajectories of child psychopathology over time. In a community sample of 98 families, we investigated the evolution of family relationships, across multiple subsystems of the family (i.e., interparental, mother-child, father-child), and the impact of these changing family dynamics on developmental trajectories of child internalizing symptoms over 6 years, from preschool age to pre-adolescence. Parent–child relationship quality was observed during lengthy sessions, consisting of multiple naturalistic, carefully scripted contexts. Each parent completed reports about interparental relationship satisfaction and child internalizing symptoms. To the extent that mothers experienced a steeper decline in interparental relationship satisfaction over time, children developed internalizing symptoms at a faster rate. Further, symptoms escalated at a faster rate to the extent that negative mother-child relationship quality increased (more negative affect expressed by both mother and child, greater maternal power assertion) and positive mother-child relationship quality decreased (less positive affect expressed by both mother and child, less warmth and positive reciprocity). Time-lagged growth curve analyses established temporal precedence such that decline in family relationships preceded escalation in child internalizing symptoms. Results suggest that family dysfunction, across multiple subsystems, represents a driving force in the progression of child internalizing symptoms.
