Bowed Theory is a new way of thinking about human interaction. It is a lens that clarifies the emotional side of families, organizations, and even society itself. It has given thousands of individuals and families a blueprint for improving their relationships, stabilizing their families and reaching their long term goals. Knowledge about human relationships and groups is probably the most desperate need of today's world. Clinically, Bowen theory has shown its usefulness over and over again. Is it as effective in organizations - businesses, universities, and congregations - as it has been in families? Professionals, executives, and clergy are responding with a resounding affirmative. They are finding, as have their coaches, that relationship patterns, maturity, immaturity, and the effects of anxiety can be found in any group of people that spends time together. They are also learning that they themselves are the key to what happens in the system. Their leadership relationships (like those of parents) set the emotional tone for the organization. Like parents in a high-functioning family, they see the value of their calm connections within their organizations as well as in their own families. Bowen theory enables them to truly
"be the best they can be" and significantly increase their leadership performance in both small and large groups. Book jacket.
