In the article entitled “Risk and Resilience Factors in Families under Ongoing Terror A long the Life Cycle,” written by Michael Finklestein, discusses the uncertainty and rebounding components that occur among distressed families in each stage of the life-cycle due to the subjection of ongoing mass trauma such as wars and political violence, while living in southwestern Israel. According to the case studies, each family’s vulnerability to the direct eruption of munition, destruction to their residence, injuries and death amongst loved ones, friends, and neighbors afflicted psychological and emotional issues concurrently upon many family members, in each period of the life-cycle. Such destruction among the entire family is the blueprint of maladaptive behavior- a type of behavior that is often used to reduce one’s anxiety, but the results is dysfunctional and non-productive. For instance, maladaptive behavior is demonstrated in each case examples such as role confusion between children and/or adolescents and their parents, the young adult daughter who over-cares for her mother who lives in a war zone environment, families in midlife post-pone their self-developmental needs, and families in later life are dependent upon their loved ones to care for their well-being in which makes them behave disgruntle and feel inadequate (Finklestein 2016).
