From Family Patterns to Differentiation:  Exploring Bowen Theory’s Multigenerational Transmission Process in Clinical Practice 

Priscilla Friesen, LICSW 

Thursday, April 09, 2026  ONLINE– NOT part of the Clinical Conference Package 
This Clinical Conference explores Bowen theory’s concept of multigenerational transmission process as a pathway to developing a more defined self. Participants will learn how relationship patterns are passed through family systems as each generation adapts to its challenges, and how these patterns continue to shape present-day relationships. Through presentations, discussion, and clinical examples, the day will highlight how awareness of generational emotional process both challenges the work of differentiation of self and guides effective therapeutic practice. 

The conference day provides a maximum of 2.75 hours of Category I Continuing Education credit for social workers and for counselors. Please note- a separate registration is required for CEs. Please review our CE requirements and policy on our website.
