Discovery of Bowen Theory and Family of Origin Work

Dr. Kathleen Smith shares how she delved into Bowen theory during her time as a grad student, exploring family systems and relationships. She recounts her journey of internship at the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family and the requirement to engage in family of origin work, which involved creating a family diagram and deep introspection. Through this process, she discovered patterns in her own family dynamics and embraced the theory's perspective on human behavior.
