Systemic Theory
Systemic Theory & Families
In the late 1960s, Dr. Murray Bowen applied systems thinking to the family unit and developed
family systems theory. This theory views the family as an emotional unit and assumes individuals
cannot be fully understood in isolation. Instead, Bowen theorized, individuals must be viewed as part
of their family origin. Bowen’s concept later developed into an effective and widely popular form of
treatment, called family systems theory.
