Seminars for experienced Bowen Systems practitioners.
Using a DVD of a series from the US. Covering each major developmental period –
The Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Older Adult.

For those who are keen to be stretched with new applications and thinking about theory – this series is for you.  This series is a good way to keep your systems thinking fresh and extended.

Participants will:

• Gain knowledge about development from the disciplines of Bowen family systems theory, Medicine, and Neuropsychology,
• Learn how the family influences development of the brain and physiology
• Hear dialogue with Master Clinicians
• Integrate & Apply knowledge to self and one's own family and life's work.

Beyond Protocols: Dialogues On the Life Cycle is a series run throughout 2008-09 at The Learning Space in Washington DC.

The FSI seminars will show the tape of the seminar. Discussion of the input will be facilitated by Jenny Brown. For a reduced cost to cover the administration of this program you can sign up for a series of two (2) seminars on any of the topics you wish. Participants must commit to attending the two seminars of their chosen topic.

This series, which demonstrates some of the latest developments in Bowen Theory, will assist participants in gaining a broader understanding of the brain-body-behaviour synergy, moving beyond symptom-based thinking and intervention.

Experts in the fields of medicine, neuropsychology, educational kinesiology, physiology, and family systems theory will discuss the developmental changes that naturally occur in the interplay of the brain-body-relationship system over a lifetime and their impact on individual functioning.
