© Love Publishing: Monit Cheung & Patrick Leung19 Families of Origin Theories FOO Principles Primary motivation is to establish a successful relationship. Early relationships with parents create frustrating experiences that the child couldn't change.

© Love Publishing: Monit Cheung & Patrick Leung20 Families of Origin Theories FOO Principles Introjects may surface later in life through: Forming close relationships through marrying and having children Allowing the frustrations experienced in the family of origin (FOO) in childhood to be recreated Resulting intrapsychic problems because of unresolved conflicts in the FOO Selecting partners who will precipitate the re- experiencing of unresolved FOO conflicts Projecting unresolved issues from FOO onto children, which causes symptoms in children.

© Love Publishing: Monit Cheung & Patrick Leung21 Families of Origin Theories FOO Principles Problems are best resolved by taking them back to the FOO source by: Exploring the past to resolve issues with the FOO Relating to their own spouse and children as they actually are, rather than as symbols of unresolved conflict in the FOO.
