Bowen's Method of
Family Therapy stresses the importance of distinguishing thoughts
from feelings. It employs didactic clarification and coaching.
Psychodrama utilizes the emotional experience of self in action to
engender role-flexibility through spontaneity. Bowen's concepts and
psychodramatic techniques will be introduced to explore problems
known personally or professionally to participants.
