Description: Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. The concepts of Murray Bowen, one of the founders of family therapy and the originator of family systems theory, are here brought together in an integrative fashion. Bowen and Kerr, who has worked for Bowen for many years, propose that the enormously complex task of evaluating a clinical family can be an orderly task when it is grounded in a family systems theory. 400 pgs. with index and diagrams. read more
"Whew! I can't believe I finally finished this. I feel like I should make a siyum.
There was a lot of good information here; unfortunately, it wasn't easy to get through. I had to take copious notes while I was reading in order to make sure I was absorbing everything (I'm really looking forward to reading more psychology texts, now that I can do so away from the computer). Bowen's theory is very appealing, and offers a useful framework for conceptualizing a wide range of problems. Sometimes, however, it almost feels like the old adage, "to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." I do like systems theory, but I think there are a lot of useful ideas from other schools of thought that may be ignored if one takes an exclusively systemic orientation. It seems best to me for therapists to use this book to inform their case conceptualization and aspects of treatment, but not to dictate it exclusively."
