Comparative Family Systems of Moreno and Bowen
Keywords:
ComparativeAbstract
Murray Bowen and J. L. Moreno, two very brilliant and articulate men, have added a quantum volume of knowledge to the armamentarium of family therapy. Each in his own way has composed theoretical and therapeutic procedures for organizing the way individuals and systems interdependently affect one another in health and illness. Bowen uses differentiation and Moreno uses spontaneity as pivotal points around which to formulate their prolific writings.
