Dr. Murray Bowen (1913-1990), developed in the early 50 's theory of natural systems, based on observation of the processes that take place in humans from a natural point of view.
This theory could be considered one of the most appropriate when we work with families. Bowen, offers a broad and profound vision of the human being, as is incorporated in the understanding of the functioning, emotional and intellectual aspects of the human-natural system.
Bowen pays close attention to the observation and description of relational phenomena, putting as a fundamental pillar of development and understanding of his theory of human behavior. Also, he puts special attention and importance of the figure of the parents, especially the mother, understanding the functioning of the family that puts the mother as a fundamental aspect of the good functioning of the relationship between the parents give to their children and their extended family.
He also emphasizes family therapy the differentiation of itself. The basic effort of the differentiation process “self” to help each of the components of the family and achieve a higher level differentiation “self”. An emotional system works through a carefully balanced stability in which …show more content…
Underpinned by principles of evolutionary biology, etiology and phylogenetic, the theory is based on observable facts of human functioning, facts that are consistently repeated, allowing to know them and predict them. (Kerr, M & M Bowen, 1899, C, 2003). The theory of Bowen family systems is based on the premise of the family as an emotional unit. Formally this theory consists of eight concepts significantly interlocking whose basic unit of analysis is the family and the individual it develops. The eight concepts that constitute the theory are Bowen be described in order of logical progression and
