Systems Research Based on Bowen Theory 

Randall T. Frost, MDiv

in Dialogue with Daniel V. Papero, PhD, LCSW, and Victoria Harrison, MA,

November 6, 2025 | Hybrid In-Person at the Hill Center and Online via Zoom

Description:  Murray Bowen developed his theory of the family as an emotional system by testing hypotheses of clinical outcome based on the developing theory.  This Clinical Conference will seek to understand the variables leading to a decision to marry by a couple who had postponed their engagement and then, after marriage, found they could not conceive.  The woman was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency and had no evidence of any eggs.  How did addressing variables defined by theory change the physiology of a 34-year-old woman from a 50-year-old to a 25-year-old who went on to birth two children? 

The conference day provides a maximum of 4.5 hours of Category I continuing education credit for social workers and for counselors. Please note- a separate registration is required for CEs. Please read our CE policy for our Clinical Conference Series.
