Murray Bowen’s Insights into Family Dynamics

article describes the psychiatrist Murray Bowen’s view of family systems and how individuals and families interact. It offers a theoretical perspective of family dynamics. The article has been updated to include the popular term “codependence” as well as the family dynamics often found in families where there are high levels of
