General System Theory
General
System Theory, a social system approach was developed and applied by
Straus (1973) and Jean (1983) to explain family violence. Here violence
is viewed as a system product rather than the result of individual
pathology. The family system operation can maintain, escalate or reduce
levels of violence in families. The theory describes the processes that
characterize the use of violence in family interaction and explains the
way in which violence is managed and stabilized. Straus argues that a
general system theory of family violence must include at least three
basic elements:
1. Alternative causes of action or causal flow.
2. The feedback mechanism that enable the system to make adjustments and
3. System goals.
1.3Statement of the Problem

has been found that various forms of domestic violence exist in some
family relationship and has degenerated into various marital problems
among which are child negligence, communication gaps, destruction of
