Bowenian Therapy
Bowenian Therapy, also known as Bowen Family Systems Theory, is a psychological approach that focuses on understanding family dynamics and relationships. Developed by Murray Bowen, this therapy emphasizes the importance of family systems in shaping individual behavior and emotional well-being. It encourages individuals to explore their family history and patterns to gain insight into their current issues.
In Bowenian Therapy, key concepts include differentiation of self, which refers to the ability to maintain one's identity while remaining connected to the family, and emotional triangles, which describe how relationships can become entangled. The goal is to improve communication and reduce anxiety within family systems, leading to healthier interactions.
