Oral History Project

June 2019     post    

Have you even wondered with it would be like to work side by side with Dr. Bowen? Consult with him about your family? Talk to him one on one about theory? Now you can listen to some of the people who did! Join the effort to preserve audiotaped interviews of people who knew and worked with Dr. Bowen. Listen as they recount how Dr. Bowen influenced their lives and their thinking. This project is soliciting donors to continue the idea by Andrea Schara that became a reality with the vision and organization of Catherine Rakow. Together they interviewed key people who knew and worked with Dr. Bowen about this unique experience. Please support this effort. Listen to the impact conversations with Dr. Bowen made on others and how Bowen Theory shaped their lives. Imagine how hearing these interviews might impact your own life. To date over 50 people have been interviewed. Let’s keep this going…

Your donation will ensure:

  • Current and future audiotapes are processed, transcribed, searchable and available on the TMBAP website
  • Upgrades including a new tag feature and other tools are added so you can quickly find quotes and content about specific concepts such as emotional system and triangles
  • Support for a research project leading to a book developed from these oral history interviews highlighting Dr. Bowen’s teaching methods and some of his long term impacts on people’s personal and professional lives.

Please give today and keep this momentum going.
