Seeing the Blind Spot is a very welcome addition to the field of Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST) and how it intersects with the world of family business and family wealth.
BFST has long been said to be useful for practitioners who work with families who are interdependent, thanks to the fact that they own and manage assets together, whether they be operating businesses, real estate, or financial wealth.The problem is that there are too few books that explain just how BFST informs those who work with these families as their professional advisors.
Co-written by an attorney who regularly works with such clients and a psychologist with a specialty in family systems, this book explores 4 real-life family situations in depth, focusing on the family relationships that lay at the heart of their complexity.
The cases themselves are enough to make the book compelling, but the added insights into Family Systems Theory are also fabulous.
Wonderfully written with easy-to-follow, insightful ideas by two extremely qualified authors.
I devoured the book on my travel home. Your combined style of writing conveyed the concepts with such clarity. I especially liked the summations after the case narratives and the restraint they reflected. You described where the families were in their evolutionary journey at the end of the engagement, with no assurance that they would live “happily ever after!”
