Systemic Therapy

Psychotherapy and Behavioral Therapy

Systemic therapy is a type of psychotherapy that seeks to address people in relationships, dealing with the interactions of groups and their interactional patterns and dynamics. Early systemic therapy drew on cybernetics and systems theory, focusing on ingrained behavioral patterns within living systems, with therapists offering creative nudges to facilitate change rather than investigating underlying causes. The approach has since extended beyond psychology into business, education, politics, psychiatry, social work and family medicine.
