ABSTRACT

Bowen's Family Theory can be considered as a theory of intergenerational cut because it emphasizes the emotional distance that the subject establishes are their loved ones and that this is learned through the family. The subject is born within a family, which has a language, religion, customs and ways of relating to each other. From these approaches, the objective of the present work is the presentation and discussion of Bowen's Theory. This is constituted by eight concepts, of which four are the most important. Namely, Differentiation, Fused Indifferentiation, Disconnected Indifference and Triangulation. Of these concepts, the Disconnected Indifferentiation is specifically discussed; Considering the need for the construction of evaluation instruments.
