Bowen Theory: Emotional Cutoff. Retrieved
I definitely agree with many of the observations that Bowen made done his theoretical framework. If there is one concept that has stood out from among the rest it is none other than the concept of Emotional Cutoff. Bowen refers to this as an several(prenominal)s style of managing many of his critically assailable issues that he has had with his direct individualal family or his family of origin (Bowen, 2004).Painful experiences with the family are better managed in the present when the members concerned are either being dealt with in a superficial way specially where worked up or sensitive concerns are the issue or the person chooses to distance himself from his source of pain by leaving or refusing click with those members of his family (Bowen, 2004). Every human experience involves a causative factor that produces a kind of response. In explaining the behavior of people, we start our description with reference to virtually kind of active driving force the individual seeks, the individual wants, the individual fears.Various psychologists describe motivation, in other words, as the driving force potty our behavior (Atkinson, et al. 1983). This is essentially very familiar to me especially that my family seemed to be in constant denial (especially both of my parents) about the failure of our home life. We were unneurotic but we existed in pieces because daily my father was an epitome of someone whose inner life seemed to be torn in disarray due to worry, unresolved anger and insecurity. He had started the vicious cycle of pain then emotional cutoff and on and on.He had distanced himself so much that he never bothered to attend to any of our graduation rites and he was forever busy, that was what he said. finally this spilled over to my relationship with my spouse and children I tended to somehow demand things that were more than reminiscent of those old age with my family at home. I was fortunate enough that these days my spouse is a fierce watchd og over my tendencies and helped me overcome my disconnection which had started to threaten even to overwhelm my family as well at the beforehand(predicate) part of our marriage.
