Abstract

The study investigated the repeated conflict of remarried family from family systems perspective, and used the verbatim of family members, who were participated in family therapy, as analysis data. the study used Miles and Hubernam's matrix, graph, and graphical network display to analyze the data. The results of study were as follows. After the couples remarried, a husband and two step-children, who were born in ex-wife, used dysfunctional communication method to keep the established family systems. Also, a wife used dysfunctional communication method to change the existing family systems. These dysfunctional communication method, which were used by family members, caused vicious cycle rather than resolving the family conflict. The differences of remarried husband first-married wife, and the differences of blooded and non-blooded relationships among family members had influenced on family conflict.
