Bowen theory views the family as an emotional unit. The family is a natural system that has evolved, like all living systems. The elegance and unity of the concept of differentiation of self, and of Bowen theory in its entirety, is that they describe the basis of individual functioning in relation to others within the emotional systems of family, occupation, community, and larger society.This volume consists of essays elucidating and applying differentiation of self, the central concept of Bowen family systems theory and therapy. The purpose of the volume is fourfold:· to describe the historical evolution of differentiation of self· to analyze the complex dimension of this concept as the integrating cornerstone of Bowen theory· to present applications of the concept for both the therapist/coach and in clinical practice· to examine the problems and possibilities of researching differentiation of selfThe largest part of this volume is the presentation of in-depth case studies of clients or therapists in their efforts to differentiate or define self. This provides an understanding of the what and how that go into the differentiation of self. Contributed to by professionals who have studied, applied, and taught Bowen theory in their own lives, practices, educational settings, and training settings, this volume is a must-have for any therapist/coach working within a systems perspective.

Demystifying Differentiation in Elementary School is an excellent, practical resource for teachers and administrators who are ready to take differentiation to the next level in their classrooms and schools, who believe that differentiation works, and who are looking for more examples of it.There are many books available about curriculum differentiation; most of them address the theory and rationale behind differentiation and discuss models and strategies that support it. Some offer limited examples of differentiated tasks and activities. However, few provide comprehensive collections of activities that demonstrate how to use differentiation in different subject areas at a variety of grade levels in mixed-ability elementary classrooms.Educators are asking, "Where can I find a book that has a bunch of these kinds of activities already written for me to use in my classroom?"Demystifying Differentiation in Elementary School answers their question by offering completed samples of Think-Tac-Toes, RAFT Activities, and Tiered Assignments in various topic areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. In addition, specific standards are indicated, objectives are stated, and materials are suggested for each of the 48 examples.The Elementary digital content has 48 completed customizable WORD files including these topic areas:Paragraphs, Compound Words,Consonants & Vowels, Folktales,Handwriting, Nouns,Reference Materials, Synonyms,Addition & Subtraction, Standard & Metric Measurement,Graphing, Money,3-D Figures, Mammals,The Hydrosphere, Parts of Flowers,Weathering/Erosion, Families,Historical Figures, Map-Reading,Needs and Wants, Telling Time,Fractions, Probability,Deserts, The Solar System,Matter, Trees,American Revolution, Landforms,Indian Tribes, U.S. States,Families, and Character, Plot, SettingInstructions for downloading the digital content are included inside the back cover.
