What IF?
- What if it isn't necessary to find a "culprit" or "pathology" to resolve complex human problems?
- What if serious problems in society keep on getting worse while we try to treat or punish those who have the problems? (E.g. drug abuse, child abuse, depression, cancer, diabetes, or even terrorism.)
- What if the treatment or punishment simply "contains" the problem for individuals – but nothing really changes in the process underlying these problems?
- What if human relationships are predictable in such a way that knowledge of the relationship system can help resolve complex behaviors and even some illnesses?
- What if time spent studying one's own generational patterns can give some hints about ways to shift patterns that have become troublesome in the present?
- What if the "medicalization" or "criminalization" of human problems is simply an extension of the automatic human process that projects life's tension to others?
- What if that projection process can sometimes be shifted to a thoughtful understanding of relationship processes AND provides tools for willing members to shift their own part in a consistent way?
Would you like to spend some time in the pursuit of such knowledge?

A key element in Bowen family systems theory is the careful study
of the reciprocal or often almost simultaneous actions/responses that
make up the emotional life of the family in the present and in the past.
This view is valuable to anyone who is able to observe it.
