Relational/Cybernetic Applications in Larger Systems

Catalog description

Relational/systemic practice is not bound to the therapy room and carries relevance beyond the family system. In this course you will examine the key elements of relational dynamics and cybernetics as they present in larger macrosystems. You will then explore the application of these concepts relative to the assessment and intervention of organizational and social systems, such as state and federal government, corporations, organizations, and polarized cultural groups. The overall focus of this course will equip you to strategize systemic change on a broader scale through methods that target second/third-order cybernetic change. Emphasis will be placed on engaging such large-scale change in a manner that is culturally sensitive and ethical.
