“…The family is considered as a basic unit for the progress and development of the community in Malaysia. Thus, the familial role is a driving force for the social and economic growth (Kling, 1995;Momtaz et al, 2014) as it acts as a foundation for helping a friendly family set up (Mustaffa et al, 2013). (Noor et al, 2019) Figure 2 depicts the effect of the familial role and cultural norms, on the emotional, physical, financial, and cognition of caregivers in the sandwich generation families which can result in the shaping of their attitudes towards caring of their elderly parents.…”

Ageing is a growing concern all around the world. It is the biggest challenge for developing and developed countries, including Malaysia. Malaysia is a country, where ageing care centre runs under the government, NGOs and public sector, and recently few of the religious centres and entrepreneurs are working in this regard. However, still the facilities are lacking ; therefore; all across Malaysia Sandwich Generation families are still providing support to the elderly by themselves. Hence, this paper aims to highlight the concept of Sandwich Generation under the perspective of ageing issues in Malaysia. The “Sandwich Generation” is still an unknown term for Malaysian Society. It practically focuses on the new inclinations in a familial responsibility in the form of support and care for elderly parents along with children. This paper discusses the issues and challenges confronted by the sandwich generation (who are taking care of family and supporting elderly) residing in the leading states of Malaysia. This study adopts the qualitative research strategy, and the population consists of five sandwich generation families living in main states of Malaysia (Johor, Penang, Kedah, Selangor and Klang Valley area). The results highlight that issues such as financial, emotional, dim future, stress, fewer savings and time management are main issues confronting sandwich generation while they perform their role as a caregiver in Malaysia. A recommendation plan is being produced by keeping in view the problems facing by the sandwich generation.

“…On account of the complexity of family therapy, it can be helpful to assess the role of the therapist in each family intervention before commencing the sessions (De Mol, Reijmers, Verhofstadt, & Kuczynski, ; Mustaffa, Ghanbaripanah, & Ahmad, ; Seikkula et al., ; Walsh, ). In the NADP approach the focus is the neuroaffective triangle, where all three aspects in the triangle above are interdependent: NADP can be used to understand the family dynamics behind symptoms and mental dysregulation, to make the case analysis, and to guide the choice of methods and tools.…”

This article outlines a conceptual framework for organising an intervention plan for family therapy before starting the sessions. This is based on an integrative coherent theory or frame of understanding called neuroaffective developmental psychology (NADP) (Hart 2008(Hart , 2011. NADP is an integration of attachment theory, neuropsychology, developmental psychology, and trauma theory. It has been developed as a tool to navigate in the complex world of emotional development, intersubjectivity, family therapy, and psychotherapy to create relevant intervention plans to meet the needs of an individual family or client. NADP is used as a theoretical frame of understanding, (a) to understand emotional development, personality vulnerabilities and disorders, and the maturation of emotional capacities within attachment-based relationships, and (b) to translate this understanding into intervention plans discretely adjusted to the complexity of human development and the skills and agency of the professionals working with the families. The theory and clinical application of NADP as an organising frame within a family therapy setting is illustrated by a case example.Keywords: emotional development, integrative personality theory, neuroaffective developmental psychology, neuroaffective triangle, attachment-based family therapy, intervention plan Key Points 1 Neuroaffective developmental psychology (NADP) is described as a conceptual framework for organising family therapy. 2 It promotes an understanding of emotional development, personality vulnerabilities and disorders, and the maturation of emotional capacities within attachment-based relationships. 3 NADP proposes a method to work out relevant intervention plans discretely adjusted to the complexity of human development and the skills and agency of professionals working with the families. 4 It facilitates neurological rewiring of deep emotional structures via transference and countertransference in the therapeutic relationship, utilising the neuroplasticity of the brain. 5 Structures in the brain dealing with emotions, empathy, sympathy, and mentalising need stimulation from synchronising with other human beings and psychotherapy may impact brain structures relevant for personality development.
