Bowen Theory & Relationships Across the Lifespan – Preseason Episode
Season 3: Preseason Episode
Welcome to Season 3 of Elevator Systems!
In this pre-season episode, hosts Dixie Vandersluys and Katie White introduce the theme for the new season: Bowen Family Systems Theory in Relationships Across the Lifespan.
This season, we’re taking Bowen Theory out and about — applying it to real-life relationships including childhood, friendships, pets, partnered relationships, coworkers, parenting, and later-life relationships.
We’re also joined by Elise Steenburgh from The Murray Bowen Archives Project, who shares how the archive’s resources will enrich the season.
Founded in 2008, The Murray Bowen Archives Project is dedicated to preserving, cataloging, and promoting access to the archival legacy of Dr. Murray Bowen.
