FEST Writing Group

Pat, Having followed your writing and presentations over years, I was pleased and impressed to see this chapter that has now been published in the new book on research based on Bowen Theory (ed. Keller and Noone). You have brought together many strands of your work, both personal and professional, into a cohesive whole..

Stephanie, I was impressed with your comprehensive article in the recent Family Systems journal.  If you would like, I think FEST could be a forum for responses to it. There is much to learn and to ponder in your article, so I will only pick out some small points. The way you describe the natural hierarchy that.

This short piece is an introduction to a topic I am trying to develop. Years ago I heard from somebody that Murray Bowen had been asked, “What is the single best indicator of level of differentiation?” And that he answered, “occupational attainment”, or “educational attainment”. I don’t know if he said any of this. I’ve never been.
