Discussion3: Systems Theory in Social Work Practice

The various social systems involved in the case study of; Working with Children and Adolescents: The Case of Noah included Psychodynamic theory, Social learning theory, and Cognitive behavioral therapy. Psychodynamic theory tries to explain influences of personality in terms of the unconscious and conscious forces. Noah was definitely unconscious of all the bad things he was doing. Social learning theory brings out the idea that learning mainly occurs through imitation and observation. This then means then a new behavior will continue if reinforced. This explains the improvement experienced when Noah was put in a foster home and the Child Protection Service being keen on him. The foster parents also ensured good communication between Noah and them. The theory insists on application of a new concept than just hearing it. The learning process for Noah was made more efficient when his mother was terminated from getting her parental rights because she did not adhere to the reunification plan. This shows that she was a setback in Noah’s change. The systems theory I selected is the Cognitive behavioral therapy theory. It mainly focuses on the relationship between behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. As a child protection social worker, you can use the theory to assist various clients in identifying patterns self-destructive thoughts, patterns of irrational thoughts and generally the behaviors influencing emotions (Plummer et.al. 2014).
