The Bowen approach to therapy is very different to that of other family therapies. It is centralized around the importance of family emotional systems and the history of the system, which can be traced through the family dynamics of the parents and grandparent’s families (Sharf, 2012). One of the main aims of Bowen therapy is to reduce anxiety or stress by minimizing conflict, which can be a result of conflicting relations within the family system (Ticho, 1972, Rivett and Street 2009). This essay is going to examine how Bowen hopes to achieve these goals through a critical examination of his account of change during the process of therapy. This will be done through an examination of the role of the therapist in the change, Bowen’s wider concepts and within these the operationalization of specific techniques. It will also examine Bowen’s attention to culture, suggesting that within the emotional system the role of culture is given less significance (Friedman 1991). The essay will then illustrate the effectiveness of the Bowen approach in producing change in a client; this will be done through a literary review of the research.

Every year, approximately 230, 000 to 400. 00 deaths are caused by iatrogenic deaths ( in other words, these are deaths caused by wrong medical treatments). Two of the prominent yet some what contrasting types of medicine are, Ayurveda, the Indian traditional medicine, and Modern (aka western) medicine. Both of these have their own processes and methods of healing, which over the years have created their own followers. While Ayurveda addresses the root causes of the disease through identifying the imbalances in the elements, called “Doshas”, it also emphasizes on a spiritual lifestyle which for most people in today's world is a sea change. On the other hand, western medicine addresses the symptoms and provides instant albeit temporary relief for suffering. Needless to say there are more followers of the western medicine due to its immediate impact on subsiding the pain. Out of lack of awareness to the significance of traditional medicine, especially Ayurveda, many doctors and researchers are against the use of Ayurvedic and traditional medicines, which limits the potential of curing certain ailments of patients without additional side effects.
