Family Therapy in Clinical Practice

Book • 1993
This book encompasses the breadth and depth of Murray Bowen's contributions to family therapy.

It details his extensive clinical work with over 500 schizophrenic families between 1950 and 1959, which led to the development of his family systems theory.

The book includes chapters on various aspects of family therapy, such as the treatment of family groups with a schizophrenic member, family psychotherapy in hospital and private practice, and the principles and techniques of multiple family therapy.

Bowen's work initially built upon Freudian theory but eventually evolved into a distinct understanding of human behavior within family systems.
