The New England Seminar on Bowen Theory has been organizing educational programs in Bowen Theory since 2001. The seminar series has been planned to attract people at all stages in their study of Bowen Theory. Typically the day features a guest speaker followed by an afternoon of short presentations by members of the New England Seminar on Bowen Theory as well as program participants. Presentations by guest speakers have focused on a wide variety of topics with the goal of expanding one's knowledge of human behavior and theory.
A One-Day Program
with
Daniel V. Papero, Ph.D., LCSW
When the problems become too difficult, somebody seeks help, and the clinician enters the picture. How he or she thinks about the family disturbance, and how he or she attempts to help become important. Family systems theory (the Bowen theory) provides some guidance. The effort focuses on differentiation of self, the central concept in the theory. The clinician works continuously to maintain good contact with the family, to manage his or her own emotional reactiveness to the family (countertransference), and to assist the family's effort to begin to work together to solve pressing problems. This presentation, designed for clinicians and anyone else interested in how families function, will review the processes that disturb the family, the goals of the clinical effort, and the fundamentals of the helping effort. While conceptually fairly simple, the effort to help requires the clinician to be well regulated, interested in the family, and knowledgeable about family systems.
