1. Briefly summarize the history of the profession: please address specific milestones in the profession. You can use the timeline (e.g., 60s, 70s, 80s) to organize your presentation or organize your presentation around several key names and events in the profession (e.g., names of prominent figures in the field).

2. Provide an original example (based on nature, a family, a community, etc.,) illustrating what systems thinkers mean when they talk about ‘homeostasis' (Chabot, 175), and an ‘identified patient' (Chabot, 175)

3. Provide an original example (based on nature, a family, a community, etc.,) illustrating what systems thinkers mean when they talk about first-order change and second-order change (Chabot, 176-177)

4. Provide a meaningful and clear original example illustrating what it means when systems theorists state that a group is more than the sum of its parts (referred to by Chabot on page 180)

5. Provide a meaningful and clear original example that illustrates any systemic concept that was touched upon in these readings

We are looking to assess your understanding of the history of the MFT profession and your beginning understanding of some basic systemic concepts. So approach this activity as if you were trying to explain this to someone who has no understanding of systems and is requesting your help.
