Chapter 1
Activity/Family Imbalance

Behavioral Definitions

1. Tension develops in the family as a result of one of the family members' excessive time given to outside activities (parent's job or sport, a child's activity, etc.).
2. Family members question the issue of priorities because of the unusual amount of time that is dedicated to the outside activities.
3. Conflict and tension arise over the fact that certain duties and responsibilities are being shifted onto other family members unfairly due to the time absorbed by the external activity.
4. Jealousy and envy brew between family members unfairly due to the time absorbed by the external activity.
5. Family members compete over time with the often-absent family member, leading to disagreements (e.g., children arguing over time with parent).
6. A family member's excessive involvement with external activities is due to a mental illness (e.g., bipolar disorder).

Long-Term Goals

1. Eliminate family tension by encouraging family members to acknowledge the excessive outside activity and willfully give more time to family matters.
2. Find an acceptable balance between the competing demands of external activities and family responsibilities.
3. Implement a fair and equal system for assignment of chores and responsibilities among family members.
4. Family members strive to spend an equal amount of time with each other.
5. Obtain treatment for mental illness in order to restore balance and proper priorities to the allocation of time.
6. Successfully resolve family tension by dealing with issues directly rather than avoiding them through outside pursuits.

	Short‐Term Objectives		Therapeutic Interventions
1.	Define the external activity that is contributing to family disharmony. (1, 2, 3, 4)	1.	Allow each family member to have his/her say about who is frequently absent from the family and for what activity (e.g., dad and work, sibling and sports); discuss any differences in perception.
		2.	Facilitate the ventilation of feelings as experienced by each family member over a particular family member's absence(s).
		3.	Have each family member take ownership of his/her feelings and behaviors.
		4.	Help the family identify the problem and define the specifics (e.g., mom works too much and does not have enough time for us).
2.	Trace the history of the activity/family imbalance problem and what contributed to its origin. (5, 6, 7)	5.	Trace how the activity/family imbalance problem evolved (e.g., due to financial need, learned behaviors from family of origin)
		6.	Utilize assessment techniques to help define the problem and its historical roots (e.g., genograms, Family‐of‐Origin Scale [Hovestadt, Anderson, Piercy, Cochran, and Fine], or Family of Origin Inventory [S...
