Abstract
This thesis provides a narrative overview of family dysfunctions and the effects on children's development from a family system perspective. The search and screening of the literature was conducted systematically and resulted in 70 studies published in the past decade. The focus of the review is on dysfunctional family processes which result in destructive conflicts and the use of violence within and across subsystems, highlighting the interconnections between family members. The goal was to shed light on how children's exposure to and involvement in family conflicts puts them at risk for socioemotional difficulties. Family system theory is used as a framework to explain how problematic relations co-occur in the family system, via connected subsystems and mutual influences across marital, parent-child, and sibling relations, creating complex and circular processes which can result in negative mental health trajectories for children. Keywords: family system theory, conflicts, violence, child development.
