Psychoanalyst Murray Bowen is one of the most important authors of the family system theory. It states that people cannot be separated from the relationships they have created since they were children in the family environment and later during their growth. Bowen tried to improve the type of therapy he offered and considered the relationships people had to better understand the condition of the patients.
