The 2008-2009 Clinical Conferences
The Clinical Conference series is designed to illustrate the interplay of theory and
technique in a variety of human issues. How a professional thinks
about the range of emotional issues that are part of one’s
practice is important in the outcome. Theory guides the thinking
of the therapist and the techniques selected during the clinical
hour. The goal of the series is to assist in the pursuit of clinical
excellence.
Each month, a different faculty member is
responsible for the program and selects a topic from his or her own
professional interest. The format of the day
includes a lecture on a particular theme followed by videotaped
clinical sessions that illustrate the topic. After each presentation
there is ample time for discussion and participation by the
registrants. The format with its changing topics provides an
opportunity to hear different perspectives on Bowen theory applied to
a broad range of human problems.

History
The Conference series began in January 1967, as a
monthly videotaped interview project with families seen by Murray
Bowen at the Medical College of Virginia. In 1978 the project moved
to Washington under the auspices of the Georgetown Family Center.
Gradually, responsibility for the conference was transferred to the
faculty of the Family Center. The long, continuous history and the
unusual format of videotaping families who are invited to the
clinical day make this conference unique in the world of family
theory and family psychotherapy.
