· Please note, DR. ROBERTA GILBERT is the author of the book EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIPS 2nd ed, a book that is about 
BOWEN THEORY, the theory formulated and developed by DR. MURRAY BOWEN. Dr. Gilbert 
DID NOT 
develop /formulate the theory. In your paper,  do not reference the material as Dr. Gilbert’s theory, reference the material as 
DR MURRAY BOWEN’s THEORY 
or 
BOWEN THEORY

I regret highlighting the information below in this fashion but I know of no other method in which to emphasize the significance and importance of the information.

Please note: this assignment REQUIRES GILBERT 2nd Ed.

DO NOT attempt to use GILBERT 1st edition. I have been using Dr. Gilbert’s materials in marriage and family training since 1992. I am very familiar with the differences between the editions. If you use the 1st edition, your paper will earn ZERO POINTS and you will not be able to redo the paper. 

Additionally, DO NOT USE THE CHERLIN BOOK IN THIS ASSIGNMENT. These prompts are not applicable to CHERLIN. Your paper will earn a ZERO if you use the CHERLIN book and you will not be able to redo the paper. 

This assignment clearly asks for and requires the Gilbert 2nd ed.
