The double ABC-X model by McCubbin and Patterson (1982) adds to the ABC-X model by:

A) Predicting future crises
B) Taking into account experiences of those who experience oppression on a continual basis, such as minority status individuals.
C) Defining the criteria that affect the degree to which a stressor will impact a family.
D) Including a post-crisis period of adjustment, whereby families must respond not only to the initial crisis, but also to the events that precede and follow it as well.
