AAMFT Commemoration of Dr. Murray Bowen

Produced in 1991, this twenty-minute video is a composite of four segments produced between 1969 and 1990. Dr. Murray Bowen explains the origin of his theoretical concepts and his ideas about the difficulties he had developing his theory. Another segment exemplifies Dr. Bowen's sense of humor and research attitude in clinical work. He describes the challenge of defining a self in all one's important relationships. Progress appears to alter the individual's ability to understand theory. The last segment is excerpted from a recording made two days before his death in October 1990. It demonstrates Dr. Bowen's dedication to live out theory.
