Title: Toman and Bowen originated this idea
Review: Dr. Leman's book has serious research behind the idea, although not behind his work in particular. W. Toman is the authority on birth order, and the late Dr. Murray Bowen of Georgetown, D.C, a father of Family Therapy, expounded on this concept. The idea is definitely not a new one nor the original idea of Leman, and one need be careful of defining absolutes as opposed to observable behavior based on theoretical positions. Family systems therapy has been working with this idea for decades, and Leman has overgeneralized concepts that are best used with professional therapists. He has, however, given a very serious concept the possibility of more widespread attention when one enters into relationships or seeks to improve or understand those in which one is involved.
