As you reflect on these philosophical traditions in this discussion forum, you will want to highlight the key components of each theory that are of most interest to you. Focus on the theoretical and philosophical approaches and therapies that you can tentatively envision incorporating into your practice.

Your initial post should include the following elements:

1. Describe and explain each theory's (i.e., family systems theory and social constructionist theory) relevant concepts, similarities and differences, and philosophical foundations. Include some of the key people associated with each theory. Remember to highlight the key theoretical components and any related philosophical assumptions and therapies of most interest to you.
2. Describe the potential interventions and techniques that could be used with the systemic and social constructionist theories and therapies that interest you.
3. Demonstrate your understanding of key competencies in family therapy (e.g., those related to diversity, research, and ethics) by explaining how some of these competencies could be applied to the theoretical ideas and concepts that you described in your post.
