identification of a boundary-maintaining entity or process” (p.7). A number of systems were noted and intertwined within the movie. Within each system, a different side of the individual was portrayed. Systems theory “describes human behavior in terms of complex systems. It is premised on the idea that an effective system is based on individual needs, rewards, expectations, and attributes of the people living in the system. According to this theory, families, couples, and organization members…
Its 6am; the alarm goes off. This time Jack doesn 't scream or cover his ears. The once familiar feeling of each sound wave as they hit the sides of his skull; the agonizing echo bouncing in his head is gone. To many, noting this absence in response seems extreme; perhaps an exaggeration or overly dramatic, but to Jack, it 's a moment he never understood before. For him it 's the moment of knowing what it feels like to be "normal"; even if it 's just for this one time. Reaching this monumental…
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…
The intervention strategies the clinician will use to target Amanda’s specific language weakness are narratives and discourse. The client’s teacher main concerns were the areas of expressive language skills as well as limited vocabulary. The clinician will target narratives and discourse to increase the client’s expressive language skills. Research by McCabe and Bliss, supports that children should have the ability to provide with a minimum of two events in a narrative. The clinician can…
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…
Covering some axons is a multilayered lipid and protein called myelin sheath, this helps to insulate the axon and speed up nerve impulses. (Tortora pg. 407) An axon that is surrounded by myelin sheath, whether in the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS), is said to be “myelinated”, while the bare axon is “unmyelinated”. Action potentials travel more rapidly and further in distance along a myelinated axon, this is because they travel by salutatory conduction. This…
