It is inspired by systems theory and systems thinking, and based on the theoretical work of Roger Barker, Gregory Bateson, Humberto Maturana and others. Groups and individuals are considered as systems in homeostasis. Alternative terms here are &#8220;systemic psychology&#8221;, &#8220;systems behavior&#8221;, and &#8220;systems-based psychology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of its effects, a system can be more than the sum of its parts if it expresses synergy or emergent behavior. Changing one part of the system usually affects other parts and the whole system, with predictable patterns of behavior. For systems that are self-learning and self-adapting, the positive growth and adaptation depend upon how well the system is adjusted with its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
