Systems therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as part of a larger network or system, such as family or community. Rather than focusing solely on an individual's internal challenges, it emphasizes how relationships and dynamics within these systems impact behavior, emotions, and overall well-being. The idea is that personal problems often arise from dysfunctional patterns within these systems, and changes in one part of the system can affect the entire structure.

Systems therapy focuses on understanding individuals within the context of their relationships and broader systems, such as family, work, or community. It emphasizes that personal issues are often influenced by the dynamics of these systems, and change in one part of the system can affect the whole.

Core Principles

• Interconnectedness: Individuals are seen as interrelated with those around them, meaning their issues are influenced by the dynamics within their family, social group, or work environment.

• Patterns and Roles: Systems therapy looks at recurring patterns of behavior and the roles individuals assume within their system, helping identify unhealthy dynamics.

• Collaboration and Change: The therapist works collaboratively with individuals, couples, or families to modify problematic interactions, aiming for positive change that benefits the entire system.

Systems therapy helps clients improve relationships and address conflicts by exploring how they interact within their larger systems. Overall, this approach aims to enhance relationships and create healthier systems by addressing the interconnected nature of personal and relational issues.
