When Bowen was a student and practitioner of classical
psychoanalysis at the Menninger Clinic, he became engrossed in
understanding the process of schizophrenia and its relationship to
mother-child symbiosis. Between the years 1950 and 1959, at
Menninger and later at the National Institute of Mental Health (as
first chief of family studies), he worked clinically with over 500
schizophrenic families. This extensive experience was a time of
fruition for his thinking as he began to conceptualize human
behavior as emerging from within the context of a family system.
Later, at Georgetown University Medical School, Bowen worked to
extend the application of his ideas to the neurotic family system.
Initially he saw his work as an amplification and modification of
Freudian theory, but later viewed it as an evolutionary step toward
understanding human beings as functioning within their primary
networkDtheir family. One of the most renowned theorist and
therapist in the field of family work, this book encompasses the
breadth and depth of Bowen's contributions. It presents the
evolution of Bowen's Family Theory from his earliest essays on
schizophrenic families and their treatment, through the development
of his concepts of triangulation, intergenerational conflict and
societal regression, and culminating in his brilliant exploration
of the differentiation of one's self in one's family of origin.
