This subject examines Systems Theory and
Family Therapy and explores how these practices have
emerged and how to work within them. The purpose is to help
students recognise philosophical and contextual influences,
emerging processes and practices and the impact they have on
therapy. This subject encourages students to develop personal
awareness of the systems that they are a part of including their
own family system. It also considers how an understanding
of systems can be applied to counselling practice with the aim of
encouraging a positive outcome for individuals, couples,
children and families.
