About SHIFT
The Dream: Establishing a Center -- centrally located -- for resources and activities related to the study and application of Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST). The central aspect of SHIFT is its open-door policy to any person interested in thinking, sharing, studying, and contributing. SHIFT strives to make BFST accessible and comprehensible to everyone.
About Us
Dori Moore and Jan Davis co-founded SHIFT in 2014.
Dori Moore, LSCSW, LCSW, ACSW, is the visionary who dreamed the dream. She has more than 30 years of experience in clinical social work, with over 20 of those
years in private practice.
Dori has studied Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST) since 1979 and specializes in work with individuals, couples, and families.
She utilizes a family systems perspective, a unique therapy process that helps people to see how they impact and are impacted by their own family system before looking at the part they play currently in the families and groups that they value emotionally.
