Family Therapy
Family Systems Theory is a scientific theory of human behavior created by a psychiatrist, Dr. Murray Bowen, based on his research and work experience from 1946-1959 at the Menninger Clinic and the National Institute of Mental Health. Bowen's Family Systems Theory is significantly structured around at least two core concepts. The first is that a family is a system to which systems theory research and observation apply. The second is that emotion is a primary or dominant force in human development within the family system. Combining these two core concepts leads to the characterization of the family system as an emotional unit in which each family member influences the others to some degree. Therefore, according to Bowen, families should be studied in the context of the sum of all their internal systemic relationships. Inevitably, each family relationship in the family system is affected by all the others.
