Plan your interventions with your clients with the same clarity and with the same sensitivity to the personal, social, and cultural structures and forces at work. Be able to define the components of your intervention plan. While it is preferable in an evaluation sense to use just one specific intervention at a time, systems-oriented practice theory suggests the value of attending to a network of interrelated and interacting factors. The compromise between these two demands is to be clear about the interacting components, so hunches can be formed as to which seems to be the more effective (as in the alternating intervention design).
