Question 6
When one considers individual psychology theories, the underlying premises tend to be
characterised by the understanding that:

are based in a modernist paradigm
b. The underlying assumptions are based on a more Lockean perspective which are
based in a postmodernist paradigm
c. The underlying assumptions are based on a cause and effect way of thinking that
can be described as linear, in which reality exists as a separate entity to ourselves

e. The mind body dualism is embraced and reality is seen as objective
1. b, d and e

3. a, b and c

Question 7
Systems theory (in particular second order cybernetics) acknowledges that we participate in
creating our own realities in relation to others and recognises that reality is seen as subjective.
This implies that:

perspective
2. It assists us in describing relationships and patterns within the context of which we
live and so a systemic therapist cannot see an individual for psychotherapy
3. It assists us in describing relationships and patterns within the context of which we
live
4. It assists us in describing relationships and patterns of interaction between
individuals without taking into consideration the contexts in which we live
