Dr. Mariana Martinez interviews Dr. John F. Butler.
Have you ever gone through an old box of photographs and enjoy the feeling of pieces of your past coming together in a new way? Dr. Jack Butler, our guest today, did exactly that, but he did not go through a box of old pictures, but through the notes written by Dr. Bowen about his seminal research a the National Mental Health Institute. This research project that involved families with a member with schizophrenia was central to the birth to the family psychotherapy movement. Dr. Bowen was a careful researcher. He systematically recorded his keen observations and his thoughts, and Dr. Butler organized them in a recently published book: The Origins of Family Psychotherapy: The NIMH Family Study Project. Dr. Butler is a social worker and marriage and family therapists. He has published extensively about Bowen theory and will take us in a journey of re-discovering the process from a set of observations to the development of a whole new theory on human functioning.
The Bowen Center is a non for profit dedicated to the development of Bowen family systems theory into a science of human behavior; to assist individuals, families, communities, and organizations in addressing major life changes through understanding and improvising human relationships.
