Anxiety and Family Therapy – Download
This clinical philosophy is based on Bowen’s belief that when one person in a triangle can reduce emotional reactivity while remaining in emotional contact with the other two people, the tension in the triangle, as a whole, will subside. When the central triangle in a family has been altered, other family triangles are automatically modified without the involvement of other family members in treatment. Based on this theory, coaching usually involves therapeutic work aimed at elevating the level of differentiation of one person that will reduce the chronic anxiety of that individual as well as the level of chronic anxiety in the family.
