C. Family disorganization is a condition of a family characterized by the breakdown of harmonious relations and co-operation among the members, or breakdown of social control, or unity and discipline.
D. The 'personal disorganization' of any one member in the family (that is, the condition in which he cannot function effectively because of inner confusion usually resulting from his acceptance of contradictory standards of behaviour or because of having accepted conflicting roles or social norms or group loyalties) does not necessarily cause family disorganization.
E. A state of disorganization in the family also exists when there is role conflict among the set of members, say between husband and wife or parents and children or daughter-in-law and parents-in-law or brothers and brothers.
