The interviews were analyzed based on systems theory and highlights new demands on the social structure in terms of modernity and post modernity. The analysis revealed that there has been a change in focus of the Swedish childcare. The perspectives in treatment have been broadened to include the family system. There has been an increase in demand for evidence-based work, while the professional stresses importance of being flexible in working with people. There is also a greater acceptance for family networking. This can be seen as a reaction to the change needed in modern organizations, with hierarchical structures and lack of client influence. Approaches to family work appear to be dependent on the individual municipality's efforts on implementing network thinking in the organizational structure and on the therapists themselves. (Less)
