Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

According to Bowenian therapy, the therapist must:
  1. Be disentangled from the inappropriate behavior
  2. Work only with the problem unit
  3. Find reasons to triangulate the family
  4. Provide valid excuses for family behavior
Explanation
Answer - A - Neutrality is key. Working only with the problem unit will not help the others who may be triangulated or fused with other members of the family or pulling in the same direction. Rarely will a Bowenian therapist ever find a reason to triangulate a family and a paradoxical therapist (Minuchin, for example, not Bowen) would provide excuses for family behavior.
