Systems Theory

Systems theory involves an orientation to the gestalt of any system in which human beings find themselves.  Open systems theory is the origin, and evolutions from this basic theory—two main theories of systemic intervention—will be taught: Schein’s culture of organizations model and Lindemann-Caplan’s mental health consultation model.  Experiential exercises will be utilized to augment theoretical learning.
