Pincus and Minahan theorized that there are 4 basic systems in social work practice: a change agent system, a client system, a target system, and an action system.
1) Change agent system- is composed of professionals who are employed specifically for the purpose of creating planned change.
2) Client system – is composed of the people who sanction or ask for the change agent’s services, who are the expected beneficiaries of the service, and who have a working agreement or contract with the change agent.
3) Target system – is composed of the people, agencies, and organizational practices that the worker wishes to changes in some measurable way to reach the goals of the change agent
4) Action system – to describe those with whom the social workers works to accomplish the tasks and achieve the goals of the change effort
