The clinician and researcher who coined the now widely-used term 'Family Scapegoating Abuse' (FSA), Rebecca C. Mandeville, shares six primary clinical signs to assist both adult survivors and clinicians in recognizing FSA symptoms, which were identified during the course of her original Family Systems research. NOTE: In addition to Rebecca's qualitative studies on FSA, the first peer-reviewed quantitative research study will be published this year (2025) in the 'European Journal of Public Health Studies' , co-authored by Rebecca and Research Fellow Dr. Kartheek R. Balapala, further legitimizing this poorly understood form of insidious systemic abuse.

💡When it comes to recovering from FSA, knowledge is power. For example, did you know that Family Systems research has confirmed that scapegoating can occur in BOTH Dysfunctional and Narcissistic family systems, but with differing causes and processes? Specifically: In a DYSFUNCTIONAL family system, intergenerational trauma, unconscious anxiety and defense mechanisms, and the pathological Family Projective Identification Process may fuel family scapegoating behaviors. In a NARCISSISTIC family system, the scapegoating can be driven by a narcissistic family power-holder and can often be intentional and conscious.
