The intellectual roots of the approach lie in anthropology as well as cybernetics ... the approach is most usefully applied to the system of the family, where each family member is seen as a unit within the system and the clients problem behavior is generated by its malfunctioning. Systemic therapists use advice, suggestion, paradoxical injunction, symptom prescription, making of boundaries, and an emphasis on the positive value of symptoms for the whole family as a way of bringing about change for the family system.)
