Chronic Anxiety, Symptoms and Therapy

Louise Rauseo, RN, MS, CS

Bowen theory considers chronic anxiety in a family as an important component of symptoms of all kinds. With that in mind, how does a clinician decide where to focus the therapy? Who will be the most likely person in a family with the ability to affect change in the anxiety in the family unit? What is the role of the therapist in managing anxiety in self and in the clinical family?

Bowen Theory and the Quest for Forgiveness

Christopher East, PsyD

When
7:30 PM

Where
Georgetown Family Center

Anxiety in a family emotional system can become so absorbed into one member that this person becomes symptomatic. One expression of this process is the struggle that many people report in achieving forgiveness. This presentation will use Bowen theory, particularly the concept of the balance of individuality/togetherness forces and the concept of interlocking triangles to develop a more scientific approach to resolving this emotional attachment. This presentation will include a case study to illustrate the theory.
