EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

FOR CLINICIANS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS, CLERGY AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN LEARNING AND/OR EXPANDING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF BOWEN THEORY

Seminars in Bowen Family Systems Theory have replaced the Educational and Consultation Program offered since 2002. The Seminar, which meets at Clark University in Worcester, MA, will allow all participants, including members of the New England Seminar on Bowen Theory, to present their individual effort to further their understanding of theory.

Topics may include (although not limited to) efforts to differentiate a self in the nuclear and extended family, the role of theory in clinical practice, the emotional processes operating in organizations and society, the impact of anxiety and level of differentiation on symptom development in families and other human systems, and the eight concepts of Bowen theory as presented by Bowen and others.

The objective of the Seminars in Bowen Family Systems Theory is to create an environment that allows participants to hear theory for the first time or to expand their current knowledge of theory. The combination of participants at all different levels in the effort to learn theory is expected to enhance the teaching-learning process for all.
