From the viewpoint of a family therapist who is a frequent attendant of this seminar, I would like to suggest five points which family sociologists should keep in mind. 1. To whom the research is oriented: The theme which is significant to the researcher is not always beneficial to a client and his family. The researcher should examine what the research means to them, and should try to protect their privacy and human rights. 2. Family pathology vs. family process: What appears to be family pathology is often a dynamic process of the family system moving toward a new family life-cycle stage. Family sociologists should pay more attention to the family process. 3. Life course of the three generation family: In Japan, causes of family problems are often rooted in the extended family relations. Family sosiologists should not overlook the relationships in the three generation family. 4. Ideal vs. reality: Immature therapists tend to ignore the importance of the parents' authority in their eagerness to emphasize the independent of children. Family sociologists should not overlook reality in order to pursue an ideal. 5. Re-examination of the mother-child interdependence: Forced separation of a mother from her child is a painful experience, Japanese sociologists should seek a Japanese way to separate a mother from her child without being influenced the individual-oriented psychology of Western societies.
