Family Systems

Paper Summary:

This paper provides a first-person perspective on human nature, a definition and understanding of psychology as a science and how it should be studied and understood. The paper further discusses how it serves as the basis for Family Systems' work, and how the balance between pragmatic and altruistic interpretations of human nature affects Family Systems' work in the social services.

From the Paper:

"While the personal perspectives of those working within Family Systems are expected to play less of a role in the treatment of clients and the designation of strategy than training and acceptable systems processes, it is without question that the personal perspectives of the therapists influences their interactions with clients. As a result, those who are themselves working to become therapists should be critically self-aware of their personal perspectives on philosophy and human interactions; not only will this better help to facilitate relationships with clients but it will also prepare the therapist to better understand the impact that his or her personal outlook can have upon the selection of options that are perceived as beneficial to the client.
