This article tries to determine the place diagnostic procedure should take up in the multi-faceted intervention system to help children and adolescents with learning difficulties. I present in it assumptions based on the systemic (or even systemic – constructivist) model, though I realize that such an approach does not facilitate the diagnosis because it requires opening up to dialogue with a “client” and the environments in which he or she operates, to view the problems of children and adolescents from different perspectives, including but not limited to the biographical perspective. The main aspect I focus on are the conditions to be fulfilled in order for the realization of the diagnostic process in systemic terms. The assumptions of the systemic approach in diagnosis are very inspiring both theoretically and practically, but their real inclusion into diagnostic practice raises dilemmas and doubts as we are faced with continuous challenges.plinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdeterminants of learning disabilitiesassumptions about systemic diagnosisdiagnostic value of systemic depictioncontexts in the process of systemic diagnosisArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/se.2014.33.2
