0:00.0 | Hey, deserve your listeners. It's just me today. I am going to talk about Nage. Nage is pronounced |
0:14.0 | Nage. It is spelled N-A-G-Y, like naggy, or naggy, but it's pronounced Nage. I've had |
0:23.8 | many patron requests for many years, incidentally, to talk about Nage. He is an interesting character |
0:30.9 | in the field of therapy, more specifically family therapy, and he's one of the greats, and he has a |
0:38.0 | very specific theory that's actually quite interesting, and I think can be understood by laypeople. It's |
0:43.4 | not too complicated, and it has some interesting, very unique elements to it. He really had a way |
0:50.9 | with language and a way with metaphor that I think really makes his theory compelling to people, |
0:57.7 | which is why I'm guessing a lot of patrons have been asking me to talk about it. My relationship |
1:02.9 | with Nage has gone back 24 years when I was first introduced to his theory in graduate school, |
1:11.8 | and then after graduate school, when I became an instructor, I began lecturing about Nage right |

1:24.9 | years. In fact, my class that's currently running right now, my family of origin class that I |
1:31.2 | teach, all new, all first quarter students in the master's program at my university, |
1:37.7 | Antioch University Seattle, take this class called Family of Origin, and we talk about a small set |
1:43.4 | of theories. One is my own brand of psychodynamic family therapy, and other is Bowenian therapy. |
1:50.4 | We talk about Whitaker Insider a little bit, but we mainly talk about Nage Bowen and object |
1:55.7 | relations. So Nage is a big part of this very important class that we have at the university. |
2:04.9 | I was thinking about it, and I would say that he is one of the least known among the popular |
2:11.0 | theorists. There are thousands upon thousands of theorists, people who have stepped forward and |
2:17.8 | published something saying that they have a new way of looking at psychology or psychotherapy, |
2:23.3 | and I would say, I don't know, back the napkin, rough estimate, I would say 50 of those people |
2:32.5 | actually are still known to a majority of, if you just collected 100 different psychotherapists, |
