Strengths

.focuses on inclusion rather than separation

. emphasis on removing obstacles in the system

.it allows social workers to understand the broader systems and structures influencing their clients' lives

.it helps social workers move beyond a narrow focus on individual problems

.promotes positive change

.it helps shed light on the interconnectedness of different components within a system

Limitations

. It’s can be challenging to apply as the system is always changing

.it requires a significant amount of data which can be time consuming

.it can sometimes lack specificity in terms of identifying specifics

. it assumes that any degree of influence at any level has control over the entire system and at any stage can dramatically impact how it fails or continues

.it does not work well at the cultural level as systems theory requires adaptation, and culture is complicated to change and struggles to adapt

Intervention informed by the systems theory could look something like a social worker observing the interactions and behaviour patterns within a family or a system to identify the problem in the situation, identify solutions, and come up with different behaviours that could lead to better outcomes. This could be used in instances where a social worker is assisting a family with a child with behavioural issues.
