Rendszerszociális

Rendszerszociális is a Hungarian term that translates to "systemic social work" or "systems-oriented social work." It refers to an approach in social work practice that views individuals and their problems not in isolation, but as part of interconnected systems. These systems can include families, communities, organizations, and broader societal structures. The focus is on understanding how these different levels of systems interact and influence an individual's well-being and behavior.

This perspective emphasizes that social problems often arise from or are perpetuated by the dynamics within these systems, rather than solely from individual deficiencies. Therefore, interventions in rendszerszociális aim to identify and address issues at the systemic level. This might involve working with families to improve communication and support, advocating for changes within institutions, or analyzing and influencing social policies.

Key principles of rendszerszociális include viewing clients as active participants in their own change process, recognizing the strengths and resources within systems, and promoting collaboration among various stakeholders. It draws upon theories from systems thinking, such as family systems theory and ecological perspectives, to inform its practice. The goal is to foster positive change by understanding and modifying the relationships and patterns within the client's environment.
