3 - Nuclear Family Emotional System
|
|
In positing the 'nuclear family emotional system', Bowen focuses on the impact of 'undifferentiation' on the emotional functioning of a single generation family.
He asserts that relationship fusion, which leads to triangling, is the fuel for symptom formation which is manifested in one of three categories. These are:
- couple conflict;
- illness in a spouse;
- projection of a problem onto one or more children.
Each of these is expanded in the following pages.
