Connecting With Our Children : Guiding Principles for Parents in a Troubled World

Dr. Roberta Gilbert is a psychiatrist in Falls Church, VA. Many years ago she found, in Bowen family systems theory, a guidebook that led her and those who consulted with her to a better grasp of the human phenomenon and what it takes to improve the quality of relationships and all of life. Her mentor was Dr. Murray Bowen, who first saw the ideas show more and then devoted his life to researching and explaining them to the profession and the world. In recent years, Dr. Gilbert's work has expanded from the clinical setting with, individuals and families to teaching psychotherapists and organizational leadership, especially the clergy. Excited feedback from participants in her seminars inspired the wiring of The Eight Concepts of Bowen Theory: A New Way of Thinking About The Individual and The Group. Dr. Gilbert's thorough understanding of the theoretical ideas and how they fit, one with another, makes Bowen theory easily accessible and able to be remembered and applied. show less
