Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

As a Bowenian therapist, which of the following would be on your list of interventions?
  1. Determining which triangles exist
  2. Evaluating the homeostatic process of the family
  3. Maneuvering family members around the room
  4. Finding one family member to identify as the “problem”
Explanation
Answer - A - As a Bowenian therapist, you would be most interested in the triangles that exist among certain members of the family system. When evaluating the family, you would be in search of which family members aligned with one another and for what purpose. Satir and others were more interested in how family were maneuvered or finding something to identify as a problem, rather than equalizing the relationship patterns, as Bowen did.
