Guiding Principles for Clinical Practice Based in Bowen Family Systems Theory
Victoria Harrison, MA, LMSW, LMFT
9:30-3:30
Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church
3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Bowen theory provides guiding principles for clinical practice that are distinctly different from “therapeutic relationship,” cognitive and behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy and other approaches to individual or family therapy. The principles include the importance of work on differentiation of self in one’s own family and of defining a self in the many details and decisions of clinical practice. This day will consider the importance of these differences. Videotaped interviews with therapists who are studying Bowen theory as a foundation for their work will illustrate common challenges and questions.
This conference is designed for family members who are in coaching as well as for therapists and professionals whose work involves the family.

Building Anxiety into Society Infrastructure
Patricia A. Comella, JD, The Bowen Center Faculty
7:30 PM
Georgetown Family Center
The use of the atom is a source of chronic, sustained anxiety, most likely born at the time of the atomic bomb explosions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The peaceful uses of the atom have been highly regulated throughout the world, especially in the generation of electricity and in the use of enrichment technology. In this presentation, an analysis of legal and regulatory infrastructure will be discussed in a manner that illustrates how the intensity of societal reactivity is reflected in law and regulation.
