Bowen's couples coaching videos highlight his thinking when working with families presenting marital discord, secrets, and symptoms. Bowen's thinking that the problem is in the family is paramount in helping the family see its way out of the challenges. This still holds promise for today's families. Examples from Bowen’s past work along with new examples from the presenter will demonstrate the usefulness of Bowen family systems therapy.
