La diferenciación como un modelo para el análisis de las relaciones de pareja

Abstract

Murray Bowen Theory has deeply impacted family psychology. The most important concept in this theory is the differentiation of the self, which basically assumes that the individual can clearly distinguish between his emotions and his thoughts, behaving more as a unique person than as a part of the family group. The present article reviews this concept and establishes the possibility of develop an analysis of couple's relationships from this theoretical frame.
