The goal is to help individuals restore balance and cope with life challenges by operating in an environment where they fit best.

    What is the systems theory?

    The Systems theory may be defined as a way of collaborating increasingly complex systems
    across a continuum that encompasses the individual in the environment. It is one of the major
    theories that have been used in the profession of social work. It emphasizes looking beyond the
    presenting problems of the client. It focuses on the person in the person in the environment and is
    very interactive.
    The systems theory looks beyond the presenting problems of the client in order to establish the
    contributing factors. Therefore in dealing with this system the individual will be able to be
    restored to goodness of fit with their environment. It also helps us to understand the
    components and dynamics of the client systems and to develop a well-balanced intervention
    strategy with the goal of the individual returning to goodness of fit with their environment, or
    what the intervention strategy would want to do is to provide equilibrium in the environment.
    The goal of the social worker is also to provide assistance to individuals so that they are able to
    cope with life challenges. This system serves as an organizing conceptual frame work. It also
    helps individuals to operate in an environment where they are able to be best fit in the
    environment.

    What are the key concepts of the systems theory


    The key concepts of the systems Theory are Wholeness, Relationship and
    Homeostasis.
    Wholeness
    The whole is greater than the sum of its part

    This is one system impacts another system for example, no man is an island, no
    man stands alone or Kartel sings about cake soap to bleach and everybody want to
    use cake soap to get brown
    Relationship
    Structure and patterning has to do with putting the pieces together for example, an
    individual may have a reading disorder and you would want to find out if other
    member of the family has a reading disorder.
    Homeostasis
    Living systems like order, they like things to be on a manageable front. No negative
    thoughts, only the positive thoughts.

    What is psychodynamic theory?


    This is both an explanatory and change theory. It provides explanation about the
    development, human behavior and psychopathology. It assumes that behavior
    comes from movements and interactions in peoples mind. It emphasizes the way
    the mind stimulates behavior and both mind and behavior influence the and are
    influenced by the persons social environment;
    What are the key concepts?

    What is CTB

    Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT)


    Key concepts are:

    Classical Conditioning

    This is something that most people do automatically because they learn this
    overtime; its a pattern of behavior for example, if the dinner bell rings they know
    that it is time to head to the kitchen to go and eat.

    Operant Conditioning

    For example if u have a child that has never make their bed or picked up their room,
    u would reward them after they have picked up their room and make their bed

    Reinforcement

    Positive reinforcement is the best way when working with a child or an adult by
    telling them that they are doing a great job, youre proud of them and being
    consistent with it. Dont just do it once a while because it will not work.
