S4 Bonus Episode - Beliefs with Dr. Anne McKnight

from Elevator Systems - Bowen Family Systems Theory · host Living Systems

The Season 4 bonus episode is a conversation with Dr. Anne McKnight on beliefs, relationships, and Bowen family systems theory. It looks at how emotional pressures influence how people think, act, and believe, and how slowing down, getting curious, and examining one’s position in a relationship system can help clarify beliefs and how one wants to live out beliefs.Dr. Anne McKnight is a long time student of Bowen theory and has worked as a clinician using the theory in her practice for forty years. She is a Director Emerita of the Bowen Center, which she led from 2010-2020 and the author of Thinking Systems: Applying Bowen Theory in Clinical Practice — which Katie and I both recommend. Anne has presented nationally and internationally on Bowen theory, but most importantly it has been useful in her own life with her family, three children, and nine grandchildren.Resources:Anne S McKnight, Thinking Systems: Applying Bowen Theory in Clinical PracticeMurray Bowen, Family Therapy in Clinical PracticeMichael Kerr & Murray Bowen, Family Evaluation Robert L Williamson, Family Thoughts: Studies of the Function of Beliefs within the Family UnitRobert L Williamson, The Beliefs Chart and Walter Inglis Anderson, Family Systems Forum, Fall, 2008 Vol 10, No.3: https://csnsf.org/family-systems-forum/article-index/Victoria Harrison, “The Belief Paper Assignment” Family Systems Forum, Fall 2022, Vol 24, No.3: https://csnsf.org/family-systems-forum/article-index/Interested in the Submitting an Abstract for the International Conference?
