Within a year of Dr. Bowen developing his theory, a larger field of family therapy was also emerging. He notes that his theory “was a rigorous procedure with as much scientific thinking as we were capable of,” and he did his best to make the therapy procedures the same. The goal in developing therapy based on theory was to have a system that was always governed by scientific thinking, so if anyone knew the theory, they automatically knew what to do as a therapist. From June 7-8, 1988.
