I understand the 'systems' in history and systems to refer to the classic approaches take by different psych 'schools' - behavioral, structuralism, gestalt, psychoanalytic, cognitive (look the the outlines of well known texts like Brennan). The problem is that the systems do not exist in these classic forms anymore, making the 'systems' just newer chapters In our history ... E.g. Gestalt morphed into cognitive, there are no more psychoanalytic theories on a grand scale, structuralism (titchner) doesn't exist in its original for anymore etcetera

Many courses in psychology depts still go by this name (often because changing involves ,ore bureaucratic asleep than it is worth), but it is an immediate tip-off to the working historian of psychology that they person using the phrase either hasn't really read much history-of-psychology scholarship from, say, the past 30 years, or that the person is making a "statement" that changes in the discipline of history over the past few decades are a mistake, "old-style intellectual history is where I stand."
