Carter and McGoldrick Identified Six Stages of family development:
- Unattached young adult
- New Couple
- Family with young children
- Family with adolescents
- Family that is launching children
- Family in later life
Cater and McGoldrick six stages of family development emphasizes the guideline of how family develops in society. This model focuses on the evolution of unattached adults to family in later life through several generations of procreation. The model also gives examples of “predictable events such as marriage, birth, and retirement and unpredictive events such as death, complications with birth resulting in a developmentally delayed child, divorce, etc.” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p.264).
The seven instruments may be used as sources for understanding the family situation Clinical assessment Package for assessing Risks and Strengths, Culturagram, Ecomap, Family Assessment Wheel, Integrative Model by Level of Need, Multisystems Approach, Social Support Network Map (Hepworth et al., 2017).

Hello Daydreona,
Well done on this week’s discussion post. I agree with your post as it pertain to Carter and McGoldrick’s six stages of family development. I would like to add that it is imperative that we understand everyone’s family going through the different stages of development at different times. Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried (2017) states, “families can change, readjust, and cope with stressful transitions that occur within the life cycle” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p. 265).
The seven instruments used for understanding a family’s situation are all useful in their own way. I found each of these tools to be useful as someone who worked at the Department of Social Services as a Foster Care Case Manager. “It can be difficult to find the right tool for a family or its problem, multiple screening inventory tools may be more appropriate for assessing family strengths and stressors” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p 277). Using these tools can help you as you are working to identify the strengths and challenges within the families you are working with and develop the best intervention methods possible.

Hello Daydreona. Good post. I just wanted to add more information pertaining to the seven instruments. The clinical assessment package for assessing risks and strengths (CASPARS) developed by (Gilgun 1994,2001) is for families receiving mental health and child welfare services, responds to related concerns. The culturalgram (Congress,1994) is a useful tool for assessing family dimensions in the context of culture, because “the systems view limits important cultural considerations” (Green,1999, P.8). The ecomap enables you to focus on the social context of families and interactions between the family and the larger society (Hartman & Laird, 1983). The family assessment wheels allow you to examine the sociopolitical and cultural context of the family experience (Mailick & Vigilante,1997). The integrative model by level of need developed by Kilpatrick and Cleveland (1993), recognizes five level of family need and functioning. The Multisystems approach developed by Boyd-Franklin and Bry (2000) is derived from structural behavioral family therapy but is also applicable to social work practice with families. The social support network map examines the strength and quality of the family’s interconnected relationships and social supports (Tracy & Whittaker, 1990).
