Ideas from family therapy have recently been applied to school and learning problems. A systems view has been advocated rather than the more traditional individual one long used by teachers, parents and school psychologists. This paper describes a model that enables school problems to be formulated systematically and details the implications of this model for designing interventions. A new project in Perth that combines simultaneous interventions in family, social and educational systems is described and its work is illustrated with a case example.
