ABSTRACT

Murray Bowen's Theory of Family Systems has made it possible to understand the way in which, through personal relationships, the self is being constituted. The present article shows the construction of an instrument that measures the concept of emotional disconnection, which refers to the undifferentiation of the self and which is characterized by the distance that the subject establishes on their affective figures, by the emotional reactivity that they are generate. In order to measure the concept, 37 reagents were elaborated and validated by expert judges. A Cronbach's alpha was obtained that had a score higher than .80, which indicates a high reliability. In this way, a tool is presented that allows an objective measurement of the emotional disconnection, which expands the options that the clinical psychologist has to evaluate and intervene users who attend psychotherapy.
