Abstract		Initially, the author refutes the commonest over-generalised critiques of the system theory, surveyed in the second part of this discussion (in the previous issue of this journal), according to which it is too abstract and non-verifiable, refers to analogies, and is unsuitable for application in working with people. He points out the basic accents of the systemic approach that are particularly significant in social work: the role of communication as the elementary operation of social systems, the delimitation of (sub)systems, the distinction between "hard" (linear) and "soft" (circular) models of thinking, self-referring as a mode of organising interior and exterior complexity, the use of paradoxes, etc.
