Summary

In relationships, we experience both the best and worst of ourselves. Growing Yourself Up helps you understand yourself by understanding your relationships. Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, the book explores each life stage to see predictable relationship patterns and then make self-adjustments to facilitate change. This second edition of the best-selling book also examines how to effectively help others. The result is a sturdier self and a new view of life’s challenges and opportunities.

Helpful book

A good book. It should have a pdf document for the questions it asks us though. I like the internal family systems theory it discusses though at times I find myself thinking that it’s a theory to match how our current society operates. For example it talks about how marriage is a useful relationship but doesn’t talk much about same sex relationships, from what I remember and speaks down on an open relationship. I think the theory is good and believe in it but would also like to see evidence of how it could apply to systems that don’t fit the conservative western culture. Another example, it speaks of leaving home, and the importance of it, but I’ve heard in other cultures it’s normal for the mothers child to live with family throughout their life.
