AB - Reviewed the transactional model as applied to the family context of pediatric psychology. A three-part sequence of child behavior, parent behaviour, and family interpretation was used to describe developmental adaptation and trasitions. It was proposed that families are regulated by practices that are proximal to the child's experience and representations thatare more distal to the child's experience. Family practices are examined through family routines and rituals. Family representations are examined through family stories. Case examples of low birth weight premature infants and an adolescent referred for repeated hospitalizations due to diabetic ketoacidosis were presented to illustrate the model. Guidelines for thepracticing pediatric psychologist are presented to asses family organization through family rituals and family meaning-making in the telling of family stories.
