This book is a collection of some of Murray Bowen’s important published and unpublished papers written during the National Institute of Mental Health Family Study Project from 1954-1959. They detail observations of families on the research unit and show the theoretical shift in thinking from the mother daughter dyad of the original research to the broader systems view of the family as a unit. These collected papers focus on the intellectual pursuit of understanding the family as an emotional unit and the more challenging work to shift from an individual orientation and manage emotional over-identification with individuals.
