Abstract
Many families, willingly or unwillingly, collect a professional network which can act either to facilitate or to hinder natural growth within the family. This article offers a classification of network actions that can contribute to a family's stuckness and incompetence. These include the network advance, invasion, freeze, scapegoating, over‐protection and the classic multi‐agency mirror. Recognizing and dealing with network problems from the perspective of a clinic is briefly considered.Keywords
