Being able to get all the attention 24/7 from all my family members was the only thing I ever wanted. As I had came to realization that…

The Family Systems Theory was proposed by Dr. Murray Bowen. This theory suggests that people are not individual entities, but rather a part of a larger network of family. The Family Systems Theory recognizes family as one emotional unit. The emotional state of the family unit is completely dependent on the individuals within the system (The Bowen Center, 2015).
