Abstract

In this practice article we present a group counseling model based on Bowen theory for college students with codependency traits and related symptoms developed and piloted in Taiwan. Along with principles of Bowen theory applied to the group counseling model, we discuss group goals, leader roles, group process and development. We present preliminary outcome data on differentiation of self and on therapeutic factors of the group and offer suggestions for future group practice and research.
