If you've viewed the conference recording and did not attend live, please complete the following post-test to complete requirements set forth by our co-sponsor.
1. Presenter Joe Dreiss believes that Bowen theory-informed stories told by people differentiating self:*
- Can oversimplify the group process.
- Offer clear steps that can be followed.
- Can help the learner manage their anxiety.
- Will lead to emotional reactivity.

- Mutualism
- Commensalism

- All of the above
3. Presenter Susan Schwartz holds that while most belief systems include specific tenets which members accept as true, it is equally important that:*
- Individuals strictly adhere to all teachings.
- Individuals ignore inherent inconsistencies.
- Individuals find a healthy balance between the tenets of their tradition and their own life experiences.
- None of the above.
4. The development of the Autonomic Socioemotional Reflex beings at which stage of development:*
- Post birth infant.
- After 2 when the child is more autonomous.
- It's not clear exactly.
- During fetal development.
5. What is differentiation of self according to Murray Bowen?*
- The building block or “molecule” of larger emotional systems.
- The primary way parents transmit their emotional problems to their children.
- The capacity to maintain emotional objectivity amidst high levels of anxiety in a system while concurrently relating to key people in the system.
- How people manage their unresolved emotional issues with parents, siblings, and other family members by reducing or totally cutting off emotional contact with them.
6. Which best describes the relationship between emotional cutoff and anxiety as explained by Bowen Theory?*
- A greater degree of emotional cutoff in a family system corresponds to a lower level of anxiety in individual family members.
- A reduction in the need to cut off contact corresponds to an increase in chronic anxiety.
- A greater degree of emotional cutoff over generations corresponds to a higher level of anxiety in individuals with a lower level of differentiation of self.
- A reduction in the need to cut off emotional contact with family members decreases the need for one-to-one relationships.
