According to Hepworth (2016), the six stages

Please reply to peer must cite book
According to Hepworth (2016), the six stages of family development identified by Carter and McGoldrick (1988, 2005) are as follows:
1.) The unattached young adult; which is considered a single individual who is in the process of breaking away and growing into his or her own person.
2.) New couple; which is the joining of two unattached young adults ready to begin a new family.
3.) Family with young children; which involves a new phase of life when the couple procreates and starts their own family dynamic, separate from the one they grew up in.
4.) Family with adolescents; which is the next phase where the children of the original two unattached adults begin to develop their own interests, while still being under their parents’ care.
5.) Family that is launching children; which is when the process begins to potentially start over again as the family potentially separates. The parents could become “empty-nesters” and the children could start their own journeys in finding their senses of self.
6.) Family later in life: when all members of the family have a sense of belonging.
What I found important when reading the chapter this week was that these six stages do not have to happen in order (Hepworth, 2016). “Families can change, readjust, and cope with stressful transitions that occur within the life cycle,” (McKentry and Price, 2000). Families with different cultural backgrounds also could have a different family development. (Hepworth, 2016). “In this world, life events are not preordained. Instead, they are more likely to be atomistic, mixed-and-matched responses to self-definition and opportunity (Meyer, 1990, p. 12).”
According to Hepworth (2016), the seven instruments which can be used as sources for understanding the family situation are as follows:
1.) The Clinical Assessment Package for Assessing Risks and Strengths (Gilgun, 1994, 2001); CASPARS was created to put risks and protective factors on a scale. It responds to family related concerns, which can range from family and peer relationships, to sexuality (Hepworth, 2016, p. 276).
2.) The Culturalgram (Congress, 1994); this is helpful for families and the cultures they follow as a unit.
3.) The ecomap; focuses on the social dynamic of families in the context of a larger society (Hartman and Laird, 1983).
4.) The Family Assessment Wheel; an examination of the family experience in a sociopolitical way (Mailick and Vigilante, 1997).
5.) The Integrative Model by Level of Need; there are five levels of family need and functioning, which range from basic survival, such as food and shelter, to the family’s relationship and communication styles (Kilpatrick and Holland, 2006).
6.) The Multisystems Approach; assessment and intervention are combined to form a structured behavioral therapeutic approach for the family (Boyd-Franklin and Bry, 2000).
7.) The Social Support Network Map; an examination of the family’s connections within the family unit and interconnected relationships (Tracy and Whittaker, 1990).
