"The Eight Concepts" is a clear and concise description of the basic
concepts of Bowen family system theory. Beginning with the
fundamental concept of the nuclear family as the emotional unit, the
other concepts -- differentiation of self scale, triangles, cutoff,
family projection process, multigenerational transmission process,
sibling position, and emotional processes of society -- are explained
as they evolve out of the fundamental concept of the emotional unit.
The emphasis is clarity of presentation and purity of presentation of
theory. Numerous citations to the writings of Dr. Bowen and experts
who studied under Dr. Bowen are used to present the theory in as pure
a form as possible in a short and easy-to-read book. The special
sections in each chapter for parents, coaches and leaders bring each
concept home for different roles readers bring to the book. An index
is included.
