The Bowen Center is pleased to publish A New Index to Murray Bowen’s Family Therapy in Clinical Practice. Dr. Bowen’s book is a collection of all the journal articles and book chapters he published, 1957-1978. It includes his early work at the National Institute of Mental Health, “the first orderly presentation of the theory” in 1966, and the extension of family systems theory to organizations and to society. This index was compiled by Deloras Pemberton to benefit both the Center and students of Bowen theory. The author has a doctorate in reading education from the University of Missouri and a lifelong professional interest in how readers comprehend textual material. She became acquainted with Bowen family systems theory in the 1990s and participated in the Center’s Postgraduate Program in Bowen Family Systems Theory and Its Applications, 1999-2005.

The index was developed to be as complete and specific as possible and therefore has more entries and subentries than a reader would ordinarily find in an index. There are also more cross-referenced items because, in the evolution of the theory, Murray Bowen used multiple terms with similar or closely related meanings.

Dr. Pemberton’s knowledge of theory and her educational background have been indispensable to compiling this comprehensive index, which will make a lasting contribution to those who are seriously engaged in the study and practice of Bowen theory.
