with a holistic approach in order gain an all-inclusive perspective. Specifically, the following factors will be addressed in the assessment: biological, neurobiological, psychological, social, and the developmental aspects of Emma. Further, the systems theory and the ecological perspective will be employed as methods of explaining presenting issues of the case. Presenting Problems As noted in the case study, Emma was referred to the Family Services Agency by her pediatrician for further…
questions, and explore the complex systems. Archetypes are not used to dictate behavior but to leverage them. Learning to see structures within which we operate begins a process of freeing ourselves from previously unseen forces and ultimately mastering the ability to work with them and change them (Senge, 2006). Systems archetypes or generic structures embody the key to learning to see structures in our personal and organizational lives (Senge, 2006). The systems archetypes reveal an…
Relational Systems Relational systems are the relationships formed between workmates in an organization when they coordinate their tasks, goals, and missions. Moreover, they pertain to the human system, as they are composed of individuals moving towards or away from one other. In fact, they tend to form patterns while interacting or drifting from each other (Kahn, Barton, & Fellows, 2013). Relational systems are also a way through which objectives in an organization are accomplished. Furthermore…
Two frameworks that guide the theory, for the case are systems and medical model. In the systems framework the theory chosen to guide the intervention was the family systems theory. For the medical model the theory that best suits the clients problem is pharmapsychology. Systems framework is a series of related assumptions and postulates about all levels of systems (Turner, 1996). The framework is relevant in that it explains the clients current behavior is a result of a series of outside…
Open System Theory in Nursing Service Delivery Health care must always be aware of government regulators, in the context of its position within the larger environment of a national health care system (Meyer & O’Brian-Pallas, 2010, p. 2830). Each system is a set of components working together to accomplish as specified goal or vision (Marquis & Hutson, 2012, p. 40). The system theory combined with the nursing service delivery theory bases the linking of nursing activities, staffing, environments,…
Systems theory is a relatively new concept developed in the 20th century. Originally meant to apply understanding to physical systems today it is now being used to understand biological and social systems (Minuchin, 1985). Adopted by social workers in the 1970’s the system perspective remains influential and in particular when dealing with families. Family systems theory is broken into 3 domains. First, change in one component will effect all other components. Second, family systems are made…
This paper will provide an overview of the history and theory of systems applied to organizational learning. There will be a discussion on the background theoretical material highlighting specific strategies for applying organizational learning principles addressing the legal and ethical aspects of FTCC; thus it will include the organizational dynamics of FTCC. A description of the way Senge’s application of systems thinking in schools symbolizes the principles of action science will be examined…
analyzed to determine the client’s emotional and mental state. One of Eloise weakness is the fact that she is in a state of hopelessness. There could be many contributing factors that are causing her to feel this way. One of her strengths is the support system she has with her family.

CAS to operate most effectively it must operate in a space where creativity is not stifled by an over exercised level of control yet the system is not allowed to destructure and descend into chaos (Aydinoglu, 2010; Kim & Mackey, 2014; Marchi et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2015). The space a CAS best operates is often termed the edge of chaos and requires a system that is highly adaptive to maintain this position (Aydinoglu, 2010; Kim & Mackey, 2014; Marchi et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2015).…
