This article examines family processes in 17 families with multiple problems through a Bowenian perspective. It was hypothesized that the parents in these families would demonstrate lower levels of differentiation than a norm group of adults drawn from the general population. It was also predicted that these families with multiple problems would manifest distinct patterns of multigenerational problems. Parents of families involved with child welfare were interviewed and genograms drawn up. The parents also completed a questionnaire that reflects aspects of differentiation characterized by Bowen [1978] as the degree of emotional separateness within a family. The study uncovered a high frequency of multigenerational problems, consistent with Bowen's theory.
本文从鲍文理论的视角研究了17个存在多种问题的家庭中的家庭互动过程。研究假设这些家庭中的父母与从普通人群中抽取的正常成年人对照组相比，分化水平较低。研究还预测，这些存在多种问题的家庭会呈现出不同的代际问题模式。对涉及儿童福利的家庭的父母进行了访谈并绘制了系谱图。父母们还完成了一份问卷，该问卷反映了鲍文[1978]所描述的家庭中情感分离程度的分化方面。研究发现代际问题的出现频率很高，这与鲍文的理论一致。
