I highly recommend this rich, insightful, warm, and reflective
book, not only to those interested in family therapy but to all who
must consider the family nexus in their work with their patients or
clients.
*Journal Of The American Academy Of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic
Psychiatry*
A stimulating theoretical exploration of the process of individual
development within the family and the subsequent influence of this
on society. [I] would recommend it as being of interest to
professionals engaged in enabling individuation in various
circumstances, from families [and] organizations to the
elderly.
*The British Journal of Psychiatry*
One of the fathers of family therapy, Murray Bowen is both a
pioneer and a chronicler. In publishing his collected papers, he
traces the development of his theory from his 1950s research on
families of schizophrenics, to his experiment in differentiating
himself from his own [professional] family, to his method of
working with the family of origin rather than the nuclear family.
His book is a historical treasure.
