Assignment 5c: Bowenian Concepts and Techniques Visual Exercise
Objective: Demonstrate the ability to apply Bowenian concepts and techniques in a case example.
This assignment will be an opportunity to deepen your understanding of Bowen’s study of families. Bowen explores the family that is present in the room and looks across generations to identify patterns that contribute to the present struggles the family is facing. In this assignment, you will look across the generations of the biblical family of Abraham, applying the concepts of Bowenian Family Theory in your assessment.
