Abstract
Social systems and social ecology models are popular current theories on which social work is based. Both these models are described. However, both models are inadequate for social work. A critique of these theories includes misplacement of concepts, a passive-atomistic model of man, missing elements and practice limitations. A conclusion is offered.
