ABSTRACT
Within systems, the process through which patterns of stability and change occur is a circular one rather than a linear one, therefore any action is a response to the other interactions within the system. By this process we can see that how one family member behaves is a direct response to the interactions of other family members, whether those interactions are directed towards that individual or merely observed by that individual. The behaviour of that one individual initiates further interactions in other family members. Any cause leads to an effect, which automatically becomes another cause. This is called circularity.
