PYC4808 – Ecosystemic Psychology
2022 – Semester 1 – Assignment 2


Question 1:
Systems thinking (also referred to as systems family therapy) is described as counter-
cultural and is a shift from the modernist perspective. Danie, a psychology student,
describes himself as a modernist thinker. Which of the following premises are consistent
with the modernist way of thinking, and which you would expect to be part of Danie’s
descriptions of the world:
a) Causality is linear
b) Causality is recursive
c) We can discover reality which is separate from us
d) As an observer, we remain separate from that which we are observing

Question 2:
At the heart of individualism, the individual is regarded as the primary agent. In order to
best understand the content that we are learning, and ensure logical consistency,
epistemologies, theories and assumptions must be logically linked. Although many of the
individualistic theories (e.g. psychoanalytic psychology) do appreciate one’s relationships
with others, which of the following theorists do not fit epistemologically with the systemic
theory?
a) Gregory Bateson and Paul Watzlawick
b) Sigmund Freud and B. F. Skinner
c) Jay Haley and Carl Whitaker
d) None of the above

Question 3:
In line with being logically consistent, and being aware of how it is that we think and
perceive the world and those around us, which of the following options accurately reflect a
logically consistent epistemology and a theory respectively:
a) Psychodynamic theory and Behavioural theory
b) Social constructionism and Systems theory
c) Systems theory and Classical conditioning
d) Social constructionism and classical conditioning
