Judith R. Smith – Exploring Mezzo Systems

Exploring Mezzo Systems
by Judith R. Smith
Social work professor Judith Smith illustrates a central concept of all social work training— Social Systems Theory. In this video, the “mezzo system” is explored as part of a larger exploration of human behavior and the social environment.

Mezzo systems encompass one’s local and small-community levels of society and in this “Mezzo Systems” video, Smith sets out to define this system by interviewing individuals and groups in a New York City neighborhood. She meets with a young woman who moved to the United States from Africa, and discusses her extended family there as well as her school, neighborhood, and friends in the U.S. She talks about her experiences with racism and sexism, and how these micro experiences are related to her mezzo and macro systems. Smith also interviews older people and explores how their personal history through the years has affected and been affected by the mezzo systems of their city and neighborhood. She emphasizes how mezzo social workers may work to help a group or community but may also engage in micro social work by assisting individuals from those groups.

WHAT THERAPISTS ARE SAYING…
“The examples of in-depth interviews and insightful analyses included in this video toolkit are great resources for teaching courses such as HBSE, especially when interviews and site visits on related topics are not practical or feasible. I would highly recommend this video for HBSE or other courses with similar topics.”
— Fuhua Zhai, PhD, Associate Professor, Graduate School of Social Service, Fordham University
