“…Models within the RDS perspective place a focus on the reciprocal influence between a developing individual and a multitude of dynamic contextual levels [7]. The RDS is a central component of the Process-Relation paradigm that runs in opposition to the Cartesian scientific perspective which places an emphasis on division, duality, stability and objectivism [1516] and perceives organisms as complicated (and thus divisible into parts for analysis) rather than complex [16]. In contrast, ontological and epistemological categories within the Process-Relation paradigm emphasize holism, dynamism, pluralism and subjectivism [16].…”

“…In contrast, ontological and epistemological categories within the Process-Relation paradigm emphasize holism, dynamism, pluralism and subjectivism [16]. In line with the Process-Relation paradigm perspective, Cartesian dichotomies are perceived as false, including the division between nature-nurture, mind-body and basic versus applied science [1516]. Overall, the Process-Relation paradigm perspective emphasizes the complexity of individual development and the importance of examining individuals holistically.…”

Integrated youth service (IYS) is a collaborative approach that brings practitioners together from across disciplines to provide comprehensive services including mental health care for youth and their families. IYS models serve as an advancement in practice as they go beyond the capacity of individual programs and services to reduce the fragmentation of care. Yet, there continue to be opportunities to expand on this perspective and promote health beyond the scope of formalized services. The bioecological model is a theoretical model that examines individual development within multiple systems of influence as well as through interactional processes between the individual and their environment. This paper provides an overview of the bioecological model and the major components of the IYS model, describing alignment and complementarity. The bioecological model provides some explanations for why IYS models may be effective and helps to provide direction to expand applied practice toward a more holistic perspective.

“…To their credit, the current versions of developmental systems theories are careful to incorporate notions of agency and coaction into their theories (e.g., Lerner et al, 2014; Overton, 2014). Individuals actively construct not only the meaning of their contexts, but their transactions with it as well, resulting in the co-construction of themselves and thus their own development.…”

“…In human development, that new paradigm is often referred to as relational development systems theories (RDSTs; Lerner, Agans, DeSouza, & Hershberg, 2014; Overton, 2014). Drawing upon lifespan theory, Lerner et al (2012) noted a number of theoretical tenets of this approach, including: integration of levels of organization; mutually influential individual ←→ context relations, which are the basic units of analysis; relative (e.g., limited) plasticity; the importance of intraindividual change and diversity; and an emphasis on positive human development (PHD).…”

How Can Developmental Systems Theories Cope With Free Will? The Importance of Stress-Related Growth and Mindfulness

Science is in the midst of a Kuhnian paradigm shift, from causal, deterministic models to more probabilistic ones that emphasize systems approaches. However, systems theory is still primarily deterministic and does not readily integrate the construct of free will. In the developmental sciences, this shift has been manifesting in relational developmental systems theories (RSDTs) which highlight multi-level analyses, interindividual differences in intraindividual change, and co-action with the context. While agency is an important component in RSDTs, it is unclear how it develops. We argue that free will is a developmental construct, and that the process of the development of free will can arise in two ways: from life-changing encounters with major stressors which result in recognizing limiting influences on one’s life and the development of greater self-awareness; and purposive development to increase self-regulation and mindfulness. Through purposive, mindful co-action, the individual and the network can co-evolve in positive ways.

“…At this writing, these paradigmatic and metatheoretical issues are largely settled in developmental science (Lerner, Agans, DeSouza, & Hershberg, 2014;Overton & Lerner, 2014). As we will discuss, a process-relational paradigm has become preeminent within developmental science, and it provides a framework for a relational developmental systems (RDS) metatheory .…”
