Viewing Generations of a Family as a System: What Difference Does it Make? 

Anne S. McKnight, EdD, LCSW 

Friday, March 13, 2026 *Online – #3 of the Clinical Conference Package 

One of the unique aspects of Bowen theory is the importance of the multigenerational family in the work of differentiation of self. Researching and connecting with one’s family of origin are important steps in observing patterns of family functioning and gaining neutrality toward present challenges in one’s life. Engaging with the extended family allows one insight into the automatic programming that underlies relationship reactivity and encourages a focus beyond problems and symptoms that are absorbing in the present.
