Family Systems Theory with the Rev. Cn. Jacques Hadler, Jr

Family Systems Theory is an important part of theological education and preparation for leadership roles and is an area that often goes underexplored. Bowen Family Systems Theory looks at the family as the core emotional unit where we first experience and learn patterns of responding to anxiety that transfer over to our interactions with other social groups. In this third introductory forum, the Rev. Canon Jacques Hadler, Professor Emeritus of VTS, will discuss concepts of acute and chronic anxiety, self-differentiation and our emotional and intellectual guidance systems. Those who attended in 2024 are welcome, as are those new to the conversation.
