Yes, as Hillary said: It Takes a Village. A sharp contrast from the Republican credo of: What is yours is yours, what is mine is mine.

Alderian theory states that: "Individuals are best understood within the contexts of relationships and through assessing the various interactions within the entire family." alfredadler.edu This is the basis for Family therapy programs where the child's problematic behavior may be a symptom of the family's inability to function in a productive manner. This presumes the family exists within the context of a larger community which is congruent and in harmony with a healthy society. Our topic extends this problem of the family systems model to a higher level of dysfunction, which is the dysfunctional community, made up of individuals who do not relate in a constructive manner. As has been stated previously, gangsta children look more to the gangster role model of the community to identify with because there are no significant strong role models within the core family to function as a productive and cohesive group, where as the gangsta role model at least fulfills some of the belongingness needs. If we were to address this problem in any effective way it should be at the community level, which might mean constructing community models for parents which are available, encouraging, productive and which comprehensively address a child's needs to be supported. Adlerian theory and practice have proven especially productive as applied to the growth and development of children. Adlerians believe that "a misbehaving child is a discouraged child" and that helping children to feel valued, significant, and competent is often the most effective strategy in coping with difficult child behaviors. Adlerian Psychology focuses on people's efforts to compensate for their self-perceived inferiority to others. These feelings of inferiority may derive from one's position in the family constellation, particularly if early experiences of humiliation occurred; a specific physical condition or defect existed; or a general lack of social feeling for others was present.
