Coffield, Linda, M. The Impact of a Therapeutic Group Procedure on Self-Differentiation Marriage & Family Therapy, Dr. John Williams, 8/00, 37 pages APA format Self-differentiation and healthy boundaries have been associated with the ability to maintain healthy stable relationships. According to Murray Bowen, a dominant force since the 1950s in developing a family systems therapy model, relatio...

Family systems theory and attachment theory have important similarities and complementarities. Here we consider two areas in which the theories converge: (a) in family system theorists' description of an overly close, or "enmeshed," mother-child dyad, which attachment theorists conceptualize as the interaction of children's ambivalent attachment and mothers' preoccupied attachment; (b) in famil...

The use of scintillometers to determine sensible heat fluxes is now common in studies of land-atmosphere interactions. The main interest in these instruments is due to their ability to quantify energy distributions at the landscape scale, as they can calculate sensible heat flux values over long distances, in contrast to Eddy Covariance systems. However, scintillometer data do not provide a dir...

The Bowen-York family of spinning black hole initial data depends essentially on one, positive, free parameter. The extreme limit corresponds to making this parameter equal to zero. This choice represents a singular limit for the constraint equations. We prove that in this limit a new solution of the constraint equations is obtained. These initial data have similar properties to the extreme Ker...

After World War II a group of pioneer psychotherapists explored how the family environment ameliorated or exacerbated the functioning of patients. Returning GIs were seen to improve their mental status when they returned home. On the opposite end of the sanity spectrum were schizophrenics. Before medicines, doctors looked to the environment for causes and remediations. Drug therapy was introduc...
