Download or read book Family Evaluation written by Murray Bowen and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of Murray Bowen, one of the founders of family therapy and the originator of family systems theory, are brought together here in an integrative fashion. Michael Kerr (who worked with Bowen for many years) and Bowen propose that the enormously complex task of evaluating a clinical family can be orderly when it is grounded in family systems theory. Using family diagrams and case studies, the book is devoted to an elegant explication of Bowen theory, which analyzes multigenerational family relationships and conceptualizes the family as an emotional unit or as a network of interlocking relationships, not only among the family members, but also among biological, psychological, and sociological processes. Bowen’s persistent inquiry and devotion to family observation, in spite of obstacles and frustrations, have resulted in a theory that has radically changed our ways of looking at all behavior.

Download or read book Family Myths written by Joyce Block and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We have all, at one time or another, felt locked into a particular pattern of relating to others despite our conscious wish to do otherwise, and often we have wondered how, having grown up in the same family, siblings could turn out so very differently. In Family Myths, Joyce Block explores how and why our families unconsciously construct identities for us which then shape our images of who we are and what we are destined to become." "The family Brain and the family Comedian, the Wild Child and the Sensitive Plant, the Mama's Boy and the Prodigal Son are but a few obvious examples of the characters that families create and then use to enact a particular family drama. But the curtain doesn't fall when we leave home; on the contrary, the performance is a continuous one, for we seek out and find new partners with whom we can live out our myths." "Basing her analysis on her clinical experience with individuals and families, Dr. Block challenges the notion that we are simply passive victims of our childhood. Without assigning blame, she exposes the personal investment we have in sustaining these false identities, even as she provides the encouragement to let go of them." "These personal myths need not continue to limit our potential and influence relationships with our parents, mates, children, and friends. Family Myths is an invaluable guide to breaking the spell that keeps us frozen in time and reviving the real self that is hibernating within."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each family has unique communication habits, yet beneath surface differences common communication patterns arise. Many patterns are healthy, promoting communication that is honest, authentic and tactful. Sometimes, however, habitual responses can develop: 'myths' that become entrenched in the language of an individual family. These Family Defence Mechanisms (FDMs) block healthy communication, instead raising barriers and creating distance. With time pressures at an all-time high and family members spending less time interacting with each other than ever, snippets of homespun wisdom "it's better not to talk about it;" "better the devil you know
