YOUR GIFT MOVES THE BOWEN CENTER FORWARD

We are excited to share with you news about the Bowen Center and our upcoming campaign, Expanding the Vision. The Bowen Center is at a historic juncture in extending theory into the world. Our conferences and training programs are bursting at the seams, partly based on our ability to webcast our offerings in this time of the coronavirus. Our Opening Day Conference attracted 150 participants in 2020. Our training programs are attended by 110 participants from all over the world. The journal Family Systems and the Bowen Center Clinic are flourishing.

This new expansion at the Bowen Center brings challenges. To accommodate our large waiting list for the Introductory Program on Bowen theory, we will be launching an additional winter class. Our small staff is stretched thin to support the faculty in the programs they are offering. In this time of social distancing, we need to expand our capacity to connect through technology and the web.

Thank you for your interest in Bowen theory and your support in the past. Thank you in advance for participating with us in this bridge to the future.

The Bowen Center for the Study of the Family is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Donations are fully tax-deductible as a charitable contribution.

Your Donation Supports the Following Initiatives:

Training & Events at a Distance

Online training and seminars allow the Center to introduce theory and foster professional growth regardless of location. Students in our Introduction to Bowen Theory class and other programs participate from the US and other countries.

Scholarships to Training Programs

Training programs in Bowen theory encourage the development of clinical work and leadership in Bowen theory. Your contribution helps make training available to promising young professionals who could not otherwise participate.

Spanish Speaking Outreach

To make Bowen theory more available to Spanish speakers for learning, research, and application, the Center has developed a Spanish language website, published Spanish editions of our books, and begun a Spanish study group. Further academic outreach is planned.

Family Systems Journal

Online digital availability, academic indexing, and the publication of the compilation, From the Editor, allow the journal, now in its third decade, to broaden readership and continue exploration of Bowen theory’s applications to research, science, and clinical practice.

Sliding Scale Clinic

The Bowen Center offers members of the community affordable clinical services. Interns and Bowen Center clinicians utilize clinical work to share and expand their own thinking and research.
