102. Understanding General Systems Theory Understanding General Systems theory. This theory was developed by biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy in 1936. He felt the need for a theory to guide research http://www.bsn-gn.eku.edu/BEGLEY/GSThand1.htm

Understanding General Systems Theory What is a system? Rapaport defines a system as an "entity which can maintain some organization in the face of change from within or without." Ryan defines a system as "a set of objects or elements in interaction to achieve a specific goal." What examples of systems can you think of? What is the function of a system? The function of any system is to convert or process energy, information, or materials into a product or outcome for use within the system, or outside of the system (the environment) or both. Indeed, if a system is to survive, it must save some of the outcome or product to maintain the system. Levels of Complexity Wren believes there are 9 levels of complexity for systems. These are described in the following table. Level of Complexity Example Characteristics Level 1 Structural Framework The organizational chart Level 2 Clockwork Dynamic, moving, predictable, must be controlled externally Level 3 Cybernetic device such as thermostat Dynamic, predictable, capable of self-regulation within certain limits. Level 4 The cell Open, dynamic, programmed for self-maintenance under changing external conditions

Forum BOWEN THEORY The eight concepts presented here are now available in printed form. is available in single copies and at a discount for bulk purchases. Bowen family systems theory is a theory of human behavior that views the family as an emotional unit and uses systems thinking to describe the complex interactions in the unit. It is the nature of a family that its members are intensely connected emotionally. Often people feel distant or disconnected from their families, but this is more feeling than fact. Family members so profoundly affect each other's thoughts, feelings, and actions that it often seems as if people are living under the same "emotional skin." People solicit each other's attention, approval, and support and react to each other's needs, expectations, and distress. The connectedness and reactivity make the functioning of family members interdependent. A change in one person's functioning is predictably followed by reciprocal changes in the functioning of others. Families differ somewhat in the degree of interdependence, but it is always present to some degree. The emotional interdependence presumably evolved to promote the cohesiveness and cooperation families require to protect, shelter, and feed their members. Heightened tension, however, can intensify these processes that promote unity and teamwork, and this can lead to problems. When family members get anxious, the anxiety can escalate by spreading infectiously among them. As anxiety goes up, the emotional connectedness of family members becomes more stressful than comforting. Eventually, one or more members feel overwhelmed, isolated, or out of control.

ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 37: Dynamical systems and ergodic theory Introduction Dynamical systems is the study of iteration of functions from a space to itself in discrete repetitions or in a continuous flow of time. Thus in principle this field is closely allied to differential equations on manifolds, but in practice the focus is on the underlying sets (invariant sets or limit sets) and on the chaotic behaviour of limiting systems. This heading includes the topic of Chaos, well-known in the popular press, but not a particularly large part of mathematics. At best, it provides a paradigm for the phrasing of situations in the applications of mathematics. A quote by Philip Holmes (SIAM Review 37(1), pp. 129, 1995) illustrates this situation well: One sometimes hears similar expressions of regret that other valid topics in nearby area - catastrophe theory, dynamical systems, fractal geometry - have been championed by persons not familiar with the content of the material.

To participate, click here Other articles that I have written Go back to the TABLE OF CONTENTS of the home page "Systems Theory and Incest/Sexual Abuse of Children: Focus on Families and Communities" By: Patricia D. McClendon, MSSW candidate Date: Fall 1991 Note: I added a section to the article (V. Analysis) to this class assignment. This section "knocks" systems theory a little, as well as other firmly held beliefs. I. Introduction This paper will examine two systems - families and communities - and how each contribute to the problem of incest/sexual abuse of children. Two determinants of incest/sexual abuse in families are: the structure of the family the rules and norms of the family Two determinants of incest/sexual abuse in communities are: the status of women and children the criminal justice system There are, however, many determinants of incest/sexual abuse that will not be discussed here. "According to Diane Russell ( The Secret Trauma ) and David Finkelhor ( Child Sexual Abuse ) 95% of the perpetrators of girls are men and 80% of the perpetrators of boys are men." (Bass and Davis, 1988, p. 96) Therefore, this paper will concentrate on fathers as offenders. Although boys are sexually abused as well as girls, the research done so far to date is mostly based on girls. Sexual abuse of boys is equally as important as that of girls. Most of this paper reflects the research on girls, however.

Miller Adapted from Analysis of Dynamic Psychological Systems, Volume 2: Methods and Applications, edited by Ralph L. Levine and Hiram E. Fitzgerald. Plenum Press, New York, 1992. Living systems theory identifies basic principles that underlie the structure and processes of living things and relates them to the nonliving physical world, integrating and bringing order to the ever-growing mass of empirical data about them. In addition, living systems models and methodology are useful in empirical research on the great variety of systems of interest to psychology and related fields and in study of individual systems at any of the eight levels of living systems. Research in General Systems Theory Systems science research, whatever its particular theoretical bias, is concerned with processes of heterogeneous, complex systems. The systems of interest may be (a) living, (b) nonliving or (c) mixed living and nonliving. The last class (c) includes both man-machine and ecological systems. These are complex not only because they have many interacting parts but also because they change over time in ways that are not necessarily predictable from their initial states.

By definition, living systems are open , self-organizing systems that have the special characteristics of life and interact with their environment. This takes place by means of information and material-energy exchanges. Living systems can be as simple as a single cell or as complex as a supranational organization (sueh as the European Economic Community). Regardless of their complexity, they each depend upon the same essential twenty subsystems (or processes) in order to survive and to continue the propogation of their species or types beyond a single generation.

Search Subject Index MathMap Tour ... Help! ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 93: Systems theory; control Introduction Loosely speaking, this is the mathematical study of complex dynamic structures in engineering. One can attempt a mathematical or statistical test for system identification , that is, to deduce the laws of evolution which govern the system. One can attempt system control , that is, to determine appropriate inputs (e.g. initial conditions for the differential equation) so that the system demonstrates desired outputs; this (and kinematics section 70) is used in the field of "robotics". One can study system stability , that is, the tendency to achieve a steady-state configuration. Since systems of interest in applications are subject to noise and imprecision, this area includes the study of stochastic systems as well; control is usually achieved using filters (e.g. the Kalman filter) to make best estimates of a system's condition. Clearly systems analysis and control requires tools from differential equations and functional analysis, statistics, and (in the case of Optimal Control section 49) differential geometry.

Search ALSO SEE Whole Systems Systems Theory In The Fifth Discipline , author Peter Senge details five characteristics that comprise what he calls a "learning organization"in other words, an organization which cultivates an effective learning environment. The five traits of a learning organization are: Systems Thinking Senge defines this as examining the patterns that connect the larger system. This kind of thinking is intuitive. In fact, children pick it up almost instantly. Personal Mastery The key to this trait is to continually clarify and deepen our personal vision, focus our energies, develop patience, and see reality objectively. Shared Vision This occurs when a group collectively develops a "picture of the future." Shared vision is the sum of the personal visions of all participating individuals. It is not something a person can learn by rote; instead, it stems from a deep-seated belief. Team Learning The group IQ is higher than that of the individual. Just like in complex systems, unexpected results that are greater than the sum of their parts will emerge. However, people have to communicate with each other for team learning to take effect. Mental Models Senge attest that we must continually question the deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, and perceptions that influence how we comprehend and react to the world. Once we understand our biases, we can begin to examine and deconstruct them.
