The Young Adult and Relationships

Anne S. McKnight, LCSW, EdD

Young adults separate from their families to begin work, to support themselves, and to establish relationships that will affect their future lives. The relationships they find are profoundly affected by the relationships in their original family, both as they were growing up and as they become adults. The complexity of their separation from the original family and its impact on them today, particularly in their choice of adult partners, will be explored through clinical interviews.

Georgetown Family Center

This presentation is about Murray Bowen’s carefully detailed research of the Bowen family as he recorded and reported it in letters to his family of origin. The details he observed informed his thinking about the multigenerational family emotional process. Bowen’s “data collection” included the facts of who, what, when, where, and how as best he could learn them.
