General Family Systems Theory & Structural Family TherapyJane Gilgun
Ever wondered what general system theory has to do with circular causality and structural family therapy? These slides represent the most clarity I could come up with regarding these important ideas.
Dr. Murray Bowen, a pioneer in the field of marriage and family therapy, offered 8 interlocking concepts as a way to think about relationship functioning, especially in one's extended family, nuclear family, and couples' relationships. This is a model that assumes that problems can come from too much togetherness. It assumes that if one feels secure in one's ability to remain separate, one can go the distance in one's effort to remain connected to important people in one's life.

Intergenerational and Psychoanalytic Family Therapies
Lay of the Land
Although distinct from each other, Bowenian intergenerational therapy and psychoanalytic family therapy share the common roots of (a) psychoanalytic theory and (b) systemic theory. A psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist, Bowen (1985) developed a highly influential and unique approach to therapy that is called Bowen intergenerational therapy. Drawing heavily from object relations theory, psychoanalytic or psychodynamic family therapies have developed several unique approaches, including object relations family therapy (Scharff & Scharff, 1987), family-of-origin therapy (Framo, 1992), and contextual therapy (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1986). These therapies share several key concepts and practices:
• Examining a client’s early relationships to understand present functioning
• Tracing transgenerational and extended family dynamics to understand a client’s complaints
• Promoting insight into extended family dynamics to facilitate change
• Identifying and altering destructive beliefs and patterns of behavior that were learned early in life in one’s family of origin
Bowen Intergenerational Therapy
In a Nutshell: The Least You Need to Know
Bowen intergenerational theory is more about the nature of being human than it is about families or family therapy (Friedman, 1991). The Bowen approach requires therapists to work from a broad perspective that considers the evolution of the human species and the characteristics of all living systems. Therapists use this broad perspective to conceptualize client problems and then rely primarily on the therapist’s use of self to effect change. As part of this broad perspective, therapists routinely consider the three-.

Expressed Emotion as a Participant of Depression Relapseasclepiuspdfs
Expressed emotion (EE) is the primary fuel for psychological disorders relapse. If there is a toxic family environment, such as an insensitive approach, high critical communication, and emotionally over-involved approach may have a more mental decline. Both inappropriate high or low EE may aggravate more psychological symptoms deterioration (e.g., bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, children with learning disabilities, and alcoholism). The harmful stress and pity criticism become the primary contributing factor which increases patient’s liability to cope with relapse.

I’ve entitled my presentation “Relationships Matter” because I am going to talk to you about the important bond between a child and his caregiver, and how that bond occurs and how it impacts the child at all level of development.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Bowen Family Systems
Therapy
Nichols, M. P. & Schwartz, R. C. (2001).
Bowen family systems therapy. In M.
P. Nichols & R. C. Schwartz, Family
therapy: Concepts and methods (5th
ed., pp. 137-171). Boston: Allyn and
Bacon.
2. Introduction
♦ Bowen was one of the few early pioneers
who paid attention to the larger network of
family relationships.
♦ “Bowen family systems therapy has by far
the most comprehensive view of human
behavior and human problems of any
approach to family treatment” (p. 137).
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
3. Sketches of Leading Figures
♦ Bowen family systems therapy evolved
from psychoanalytic principles and practice.
♦ Bowen was innovative and developed
comprehensive ideas.
♦ Bowen was the oldest child from a large
family in rural Tennessee.
♦ Many prominent MFTs trained with Bowen,
including many feminist therapists such as
Betty Carter and Monica McGoldrick.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
5. Differentiation of Self
♦ This is both an intrapsychic and
interpersonal concept.
♦ Intrapsychic aspect: ability to separate
feeling from thinking. “The differentiated
person isn’t a cold fish who only thinks and
never feels … he or she is capable of strong
emotion and spontaneity, but also capable
of the objectivity that comes with the ability
to resist the pull of emotional impulses” (p.
140). Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
6. Differentiation of Self (cont.)
♦ Interpersonal aspect:
Undifferentiated people react emotionally –
positively or negatively – to others.
Undifferentiated people have limited
autonomous identity.
Differentiated people are able to take principled
stands.
Differentiated people are able to develop
intimacy without become reflexively shaped by
others.
The process of differentiation promotes
personal responsibility.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
7. Triangles
♦ All emotionally significant relationships are
shadowed by third parties (including relatives,
friends, objects, work, memories).
♦ Relationships are dynamic; there are cycles of
closeness of distance. Triangles are likely to
develop during times of distance.
♦ In relationships, the partner who experiences the
most distress will often connect with someone else
as a way to gain an ally.
♦ Sometimes, significant others offer support when
they sense anxiety or conflict. Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
8. Triangles (cont.)
♦ Triangulation lets off steam, but it freezes conflict
in place: “Unburdening yourself to a friend will
make you feel better. It will also lessen the
likelihood that you’ll engage the problem at its
source” (p. 141).
♦ Interlocking triangles are present in systems of
more than three.
♦ Rules that govern emotional processes:
One person cannot change the relationship between two
others or between another person and her or his habit.
The more you try to change the relationship of another,
the more likely it is that you will reinforce the aspects
of the relationship that you want to change. Werner-
Dr. Ronald
Wilson
9. Nuclear Family Emotional
Processes
♦ Undifferentiated people experience
difficulty managing anxiety and stress.
♦ Lack of Differentiation X Anxiety = Fusion
Between Spouses.
♦ Emotional fusion is unstable. It tends to
produce:
overt marital conflict;
reactive emotional distance;
physical or emotional symptoms (usually the
more accommodating partner);
projection of problems on to children.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
10. Family Projection Process
♦ Definition: “the process by which parents
project part of their immaturity to one or
more children” (Bowen, 1978, p. 477).
♦ The child who is the most emotionally
attached to parents is likely to be the object
of parental projection and, as a result, have
lower levels of differentiation (Bowen,
1978).
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
11. Multigenerational Transmission
Process
♦ This refers to the transmission of a family
projection process.
♦ The nature and degree of intensity of
emotional responses are passed down from
generation to generation (Friedman, 1991).
♦ Levels of differentiation are affected
through generations based on levels of
differentiation of partners as they marry.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
12. Sibling Position
♦ Belief that personality characteristics are
influenced by sibling position. He also
believed that family functioning and other
variables influenced roles.
♦ Sibling conflict may often be the result of
triangular relationships (e.g., coalitions with
parents can foster sibling antagonism).
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
13. Emotional Cutoff
♦ All people have some degree of unresolved
emotional attachment to their parents.
♦ Level of cutoff is influenced by degree of
differentiation: there is an attempt to
distance by avoiding contact.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
14. Societal Emotional Process
♦ Emotional processes in families influence
emotional processes in families.
♦ Social forces (including sexism, racism,
poverty) fundamentally influence how
families interact with each other.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
15. Normal Family Development
♦ Bowen believed that families varied on a
continuum from emotional fusion to
differentiation.
♦ Optimal Family Development: thought to take
place when
family members are relatively differentiated;
anxiety is low;
parents are in good emotional contact with their own
families of origin.
♦ Emotional attachment between spouses often is
similar to those from families of origin.
♦ Family development is a process of expansion,
contraction, and realignment that supports entry,
Dr. Ronald Werner-
exit, and development of family members.
Wilson
16. Characteristics of Well-adjusted
Families (Fogarty, 1976a):
♦ They are balanced and can adapt to change.
♦ Emotional problems are seen as existing in the
whole group.
♦ They are connected across generations to all
family members.
♦ Minimum use of fusion or distance to solve
problems.
♦ Each dyad is capable of dealing with conflict
within it.
♦ Differences are tolerated.
♦ There is an awareness of what each person
receives from others. Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
17. Characteristics of Well-adjusted
Families (cont.)
♦ Each person is allowed her/his own
emptiness.
♦ Preserving a positive emotional climate is
more important than doing what is popular
or socially appropriate.
♦ Each member thinks the family is a pretty
good place to live.
♦ Members use each other as sources for
feedback and learning, not as emotional
crutches. Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
18. Development of Behavior
Disorders
♦ Symptoms develop from stress that exceeds
a person’s ability to handle it.
♦ Symptoms are a product of emotional
reactivity, acute or chronic.
♦ The ability to deal with stress is influenced
by level of differentiation.
Remember, differentiation is not a synonym for
maturity.
It reflects both an intrapsychic and
interpersonal process. As a result, symptoms
also develop when stress exceeds a systems
ability to bind or neutralize it. Ronald Werner-
Dr.
Wilson
19. Goals of Therapy
♦ Trace Family Patterns
Pay attention to processes: patterns of
emotional reactivity.
Pay attention to structure: patterns of
interlocking triangles.
♦ Goal of therapy: decrease anxiety and
increase differentiation of self.
♦ Goals become less specific over time.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
20. Goals of Therapy (cont.)
♦ Guerin’s approach:
Place the presenting problems in
multigenerational context by completing a
thorough and accurate genogram.
Connect with key family members: work to
calm their anxiety and level of emotional
arousal so that anxiety throughout the system
can be lowered.
Define parameters of the central symptomatic
triangle
♦ Feminist approach: address inequality in
relationships. Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
21. Conditions of Behavior Change
♦ Therapists must be able to tolerate anxiety.
♦ Therapists must practice differentiation and avoid
triangulation.
♦ Therapists ask questions to foster self-reflection
and direct them to individuals one-at-a-time.
♦ Individuals are encouraged to look for their own
role in processes.
♦ Therapy requires an awareness about the entire
family (even though it does not need to include the
presence of the entire family).
♦ Differentiation requires cultivating a personal
relationship with everyone in the extended family.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
22. Techniques
♦ Genogram: family diagram to collect and organize
information about the family.
♦ The therapy triangle: therapist should try to
remain free of emotional entanglements in order to
avoid feel stuck or stalemated.
♦ Relationship experiments: ask clients to try new
behaviors and pay attention to the processes.
♦ Coaching: ask process questions designed to help
clients cultivate responses.
♦ The “I-Position”: take a personal stance and say
what you feel. Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
23. Techniques (cont.)
♦ Multiple family therapy: work with multiple
couples at once. Observing other couples
can be helpful.
♦ Displacement stories: tell stories (or
recommend movies) that minimize
defensiveness.
Dr. Ronald Werner-
Wilson
