Boundaries in family systems play an important role in influencing the flow of information and movement of people. This means that boundaries help determine the level of openness and communication within a family, as well as how family members interact with each other. Boundaries are not about restricting external influences or preventing changes in the system, as they can also be flexible and adaptive. Additionally, they are not just about enforcing rules, as exceptions can also be made within the boundaries of a family system.
