 Systemic thinking according to Becvar and Becvar (2014)
3.1 According to Becvar and Becvar (2014), systemic thinking is not an either/or approach.
The Social Graces framework is increasingly used within training institutions, as a means of encouraging learners to critically explore issues of social difference.
Attending to issues of power and diversity is believed to help trainee family therapists become more alert to any biases that may impact on therapy.
This review paper draws on the developing literature to examine what the social graces add and limit in systemic thinking and practice.
It also considers an alternative approach for exploring power and difference in family therapy practice.
Discuss this statement and justify how FOC and SOC can be integrated in a
complementary manner. (10 marks)

How will knowledge of sexual behavior be relevant to the practice of psychology?

Sexuality is one of the fundamental drives behind everyone’s feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

It defines the means of biological reproduction, describes psychological and sociological representations of self, and orients a person’s attraction to others.

Further, it shapes the brain and body to be pleasure-seeking. Yet, as important as sexuality is to being human, it is often viewed as a taboo topic for personal or scientific inquiry.

Give a particular issue or situation where it can be applied.
