AnnotationPost-modern shifts in thinking about families, ageing, and intervention have dramatically challenged the fundamental paradigms of family systems or functionalist theory and the nature of intervention. This article uses post-modern theory to critique the general systems approach to practice. It explores alternative views and recommends that social workers reconsider their intervention models. (RH).
