Quotes by Murray Bowen (?)

“I consider rugged individualism to be an exaggerated pretend posture of a person
struggling against emotional fusion. The differentiated person is always aware of others and the relationship system around him.”
― Murray Bowen, Family Therapy in Clinical Practice

“There is a tendency in all of us to want to see schizophrenia...as somehow separate from ourselves. There is a certain comfort...in building a barrier that says 'schizophrenia' on one side and 'normal' on the other. The 'normals' often benevolently minister to the 'schizophrenic' ones and, in this effort to be helpful, often firm up the barrier, further isolating the schizophrenic person and family. This barrier is of our own making, not nature's act.”
― Murray Bowen & Michael Kerr, Family Evaluation
