Syndrome Theory

Syndrome Theory suggests that complex social issues arise from a collection of related factors or symptoms, rather than a single cause. It emphasizes that understanding a problem requires looking at the patterns and interconnected elements contributing to it. In education or psychology, for example, a child's learning difficulties might not stem from one issue but a "syndrome" of factors like environment, health, or social interactions. By recognizing these patterns, we can create more effective solutions and interventions tailored to the complexities of real-world problems.
