Growing Older with Bowen theory

Presenter: Priscilla J. Friesen, LICSW

The aging process varies between different individuals and within families. Bowen theory suggests that individuals and families adapt to this natural life process based upon their level of interdependence.  Working on differentiation of self, however, is a lifelong process. 

This Clinical Conference will explore the opportunities present to define a self as people age and face life challenges.   What are the challenges for individuals as they age?  What are the challenges for the family? How do families benefit from the older individual defining a self?   

The focus is on how defining a self, informed by Bowen theory guides the thinking, feeling and actions when facing challenges of aging. 

The conference day provides a maximum of 4.5 hours of Category I continuing education credit for social workers and for counselors. Please note- a separate registration is required for CEs.
