Description

The year will follow a theme that relates to the application of one or more aspects of Bowen Family Systems Theory (e.g., The Family as a Unit). Each 2-hour session will allow participants to discuss the assigned readings.

Participants will investigate an aspect of the theory of their choosing in order to understand this area in greater detail.  See the program outline above for more details.

Learning Objectives

  • To gain a better understanding of different applications of Bowen Family Systems Theory (Bowen Theory).
  • To learn about the connections of Bowen Theory with other areas of science.
  • To improve one’s ability to articulate Bowen Theory concepts and how they can be applied by participation in the assignment discussions and the submission of written paper.

“The theory postulates that far more human activity is governed by man’s (sic) emotional system than he has been willing to admit, and there is far more similarity than dissimilarity between the “dance of life” in lower forms and the “dance of life” in human forms.”

Murray Bowen, M.D. from Family Therapy in Clinical Practice.
