Abstract
This paper utilizes the Transitionally Unintegrated‐Externally Open family system type derived from Wertheim (1973,1975) to address the multiple factors that may enhance or reduce the vulnerability of the adolescent marriage. Facilitating and constraining factors on the development of marital system autonomy and competence are identified at the individual, marital, familial and extra‐familial levels. Guidelines for clinical assessment and intervention are presented.Keywords
