I still have to check out the Bowen book, but to note there are many, many different types of family systems theory. One of the current most popular approaches is using a behavioural technique in FS theory.

This approach focuses on the attaining positive behaviour within the family unit. Reward/Punishment are the norm. Personally, I find this approach a bit to "cold", but works best as part of the bigger picture.

The communications approach focuses on both how and what family members say. The idea here is to clear the 'fog' and such that doesn't allow family members to truly express themselves. There is also practice in *how* a family member says something.

I've seen Family Systems work very well if done right. Hence, you might want to shop around to get some place where you feel both comfortable and confident in your counsellor.

Best,
Jay
