Clinical Applications in Bowen Theory (four times a year) — Fridays: November 13, February 12, April 23, and August 6

Families and clinicians will gain equally from this opportunity to observe, by way of clinical videotapes, the way other families apply family systems thinking to a variety of family and individual issues. Families using Bowen theory learn to observe the system while addressing the importance and capacity for personal development and individual responsibility. The course will provide an opportunity for participants to use these examples to enrich their own understanding of family emotional process and the concepts available in Bowen theory. There will also be opportunities in lecture and discussion to address the clinical process and how it is different from individual or group therapy in working with similar life issues.

Louise Rauseo, RN, MS, CS-P is the presenter and will draw on examples from her own clinical practice as well as presenting clinical sessions with Dr. Bowen.

Tuition: $50/class (reduced from $60); $200/series — 4 CEU's per class: $10

Class Time: 8:30 - 12:30pm Location:

All Saints Church Hall
1415 Dakota
El Paso, TX 79930

Important Reading: Family Therapy in Clinical Practice, Murray Bowen, 1978, Chapters 14 and 16
