[edit] TV Series
The TV series - basically they are not about dysfunctional families, are they? They are about family problems of a much less serious kind. So I would just cut them, for consistency.

this needs major work for instance the efect disabled kids have on the dysfunctionalism of the family james cullis
[edit] Nothing really useful to add
But we have a joke 'round here that my family puts the "fun" in "dysfunctional." --Al 14:41, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Expert?
Does growing up in a family that fits the Dysfunctional Family stereotype make one an expert? --Veemonkamiya 07:26, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
--No, it does not automatically make one an expert. As the page says, people growing up in a dysfunctional family often believe that dysfunctional is normal, and hence are incapable of saying whether something is characteristic of dysfunctional families or not. Aside from that, lots of 15yos think their family is dysfunctional, even though it may perhaps not be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.110.199.43 (talk • contribs)
--- Article need a lot of work. Uses strong phrases with personal moral connotations such as "basic boundaries of appropriate behavior" - which seems to indicate that there some some set criterion for behavior which, prevalent though it may be, I doubt anyone can cite. There is also a lack of any sources. - Xvall

Unfortuatly most fmailies today are this way i know mine is but why it ahs to be this way is something i do continue to puzzle about!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eleventhdr (talk • contribs) 16:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Marriage problems
I honestly can't believe having read this page that the word "divorce" does not appear at all - a considerable oversight!
[edit] Effect on children?
- Does a dysfunctional family necessarily have a negative effect on children. Coundn't some strong-willed children actaully thrive in such situations and reslove not to be like their parents?--The world salutes the Rising Star...Try to be One 10:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Some, yes. I believe so. But not all. In fact, as far as sociological evidence goes, it is likely that most children will grow to believe that the behavior exhibited in their circles are acceptable to the world at large and will likely reflect that in their future relationships. - Xvall
[edit] The link to the german page
Well, this link is misguiding as its not linking to a german version of the dysfunctional family article but to an article about "defence mechanism". I don't know how to do it but someone should delete this link. Thanks.
btw: you can test this. just go to the german article and then try to go back to the dysfunctional family article by clicking on "English". You'll be viewing the english article called "defence mechanism".
[edit] Maybe another flag?
Ok, maybe someone should put a better flag for the repair need, because "in need of attention from an expert on the subject" sounds very humorous in context. Generaleskimo 07:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
but it's not always true ok —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.58.29.215 (talk) 20:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Medical diagnosis?
I don't see a specific reference to medical diagnosis. Does the term "Dysfunctional family" have a specific definition as a medical diagnosis? And if not, how is the term defined and what is the source. - Michael J Swassing (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Twelve-Step Program, Anecdotal?
I see praise for twelve-step programs in a sentence with at least two grammatical errors, but I don't see a reference to a study which proves how "great" twelve-step programs are for dysfunctional families. - User:Tommccr 16:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
