System theory views social systems like families as interconnected groups that influence each other. It was developed in the 1950s and challenged individual explanations for problems by looking at relationship dynamics within families. Family therapy uses systems theory to understand how changing one part of a family impacts others. There are different approaches like structural and strategic family therapy. The family lifecycle identifies developmental tasks at each stage, and transitions between stages can cause stress. Systems theory informs social work practices like family assessments and decisions about child welfare. It also emphasizes understanding each family's cultural context rather than stereotypes.

3. Social system
Group and institutions that work together
to make a complete whole.
Social system are used to identify relationships
that connect peoples and organizations , which
ultimately contribute to a larger institution.
4. Introduction
• One of the earliest references to social work and systems
theory goes as far back as the mid-1970 (Forder 1976).
• Modern system theory, and its link with family therapy and
the systematic ideas that have developed from it, is generally
credited with emerging in the 1950’s as a result of a number
of developments in the fields of psychology, communication
theory and psychiatry.
• At a broader level it is also important to acknowledge here
the socio-economics context of a post-second World War
economic expansion, population growth and the significance
of cultural changes affecting people’s attitude to marriage,
leisure, and intimate relationship.
• An idea thus began to take root that individual experiences
within families were continually being shaped and influenced
by the evolving interaction patterns of communication.
5. Cont…..
• Bowl by is more generally recognized as a key figure in the
development of attachment theory, yet he was among the
first of this new generation to recognize the limitation of
individual work and began to work with families rather than
individuals.
• Systemic thinking conceptualized that individual personality
and identity could change along with changes in family
dynamics.
• From this common root theory (system theory) a number
of models and methods of practice evolved and this has
continued through to the present day (Walker and Akister,
2004).
6. System Theory
• Thinking of families as living systems with all the dynamics
that this implies was quite revolutionary in its time as it
challenged the prevailing orthodoxies which perceived
emotional and psychological problems in individual terms:
• Family therapy ... looks at problems within the systems of
relationships in which they occur, and aims to promote
change by intervening in the broader system rather than in
the individual alone. (Burnham, 1984: 2)
• It enabled professionals to think about how the dynamics are
constantly altering as each family member deals with life both
inside and outside the family.
• This also introduced ideas about family boundaries and the
permeability of these.
7. Cont…….
• A mother, father and their two children (boys aged 9 and 4)
live together. The parents are having difficulty with the elder
boy’s behavior. Family work is undertaken which results in
clearer rules for both boys’ behavior and the father spending
more time with the elder boy. The elder boy’s behavior
improves and everyone is happy until they notice that the
younger boy’s behavior has deteriorated. (ACTIVITY)
• The parts of the family are interrelated.
• One part of the family cannot be understood in isolation from
the rest of the system.
• Family functioning cannot be fully understood by simply
understanding each of the parts separately.
• A family’s structure and organization are important factors
that determine the behavior of family members.
8. SYSTEMS THEORY AND INTERVENTION
PRACTICES
• Three broad schools of family therapy can be identified within
the systems literature: structural, strategic and systemic.
• First, the characteristics of structural family therapy stem
from the technique of observing the interactive patterns in a
family.
• The attraction for practitioners of this way of using family
therapy techniques is that it aspires to provide families with
problem solving practical solutions while also maintaining a
strict structural hierarchy between children and
parents/cares.
9. Cont…..
• Second, the strategic family therapy approach, in contrast to
the structural approach, does not have a normative concept
of the family that should exist according to set hierarchies and
sub-systems of parents/children, etc.
• Third, the development of the Milan Systemic Model began in
Italy in the 1970s where a group of psychiatrists were
experimenting with treating individuals.
10. FAMILY LIFECYCLE AND TRANSITIONAL
CHALLENGES
• Why is the family lifecycle so important?
• It identifies the tasks that family members have to deal
with at the particular stages of life they occupy.
• Each stage will have different developmental tasks for
members.
• By looking at the family lifecycle we can access a window
into the developmental needs of individuals within a family.
11. Cont…….
• A key factor in this view is that many families function well, or
at least do not perceive themselves as having problems for
long periods of time.
• Many family workers believe that moving from one stage of
the lifecycle to another can produce such stress (Hoffman,
1981; Madanes, 1981).
• Examples of this include adjusting to the arrival of another
child or coping with a child entering adolescence. Each of
these stages will demand alterations to family routines and
there will also be an emotional process involved in such
transitions.
12. DECISION MAKING
• Social work, with children and families, will involve critical
decisions about whether or not children should remain in
their parents’ care.
• The knowledge on which such decisions are based is drawn
from theories of child development, parenting capacity and
family functioning.
• The popularity of systems theory and the practice of family
therapy arose from its apparent effectiveness in enabling
rapid change for families experiencing problems.
13. MULTICULTURAL SYSTEMS
• Social workers must be aware of the subtleties of their own
ethnic and cultural make-up since multicultural practice
applies to both majority and minority cultures: the point here
being that we cannot make assumptions about the internal
structure of a family from their known culture, as defined by
crude stereotypes or lazy generalizations, since there will
always be individual interpretations in any culture or religion
and we need to take the time to reflect upon and understand
these.
• They believed that cultural sensitivity can be learned and
looked at some culturally important values for this group.
• They explored the concept of family uniqueness and started
from the understanding that Asian-American families are like
all other families, like some other families, and like no other
families.
