Which of the following roles is associated with Claudia Black's family roles?

Claudia Black's framework on family roles, particularly in the context of addiction and dysfunction, identifies the "acting-out child" role as a critical component. The acting-out child typically manifests behaviors that reflect their distress and struggle with family dynamics, often as a response to the chaos commonly found in families affected by addiction. This role is characterized by rebellion, defiance, or engaging in risky behaviors in an attempt to cope with the emotional turmoil surrounding them.

In many cases, this role is a form of communication about their pain and frustration, serving as an indicator of unresolved issues within the family. Recognizing the acting-out child’s role can help mental health professionals understand the family system better and address the specific needs of each member, particularly the child, who may be expressing their needs through maladaptive behaviors.

The other roles do exist in the context of family dynamics, but they do not directly align with Black's specific terminology and framework as the acting-out child does. Understanding the significance of this role can be critical in treatment and intervention strategies aimed at healing family systems impacted by addiction.
