Complete set of eight DVDs from the 2009 Spring Conference PANEL 1— Murray Bowen’s Concept of Emotional Process In Society During periods of chronic sustained stress, societies, like families, regress in functioning. In the post-World War II era, humankind is experiencing a prolonged period of polarization, disorganization, conflict, and upheaval, which Bowen postulated may be linked to the human population, and the loss of space to migrate.

They do this as interdependent members of the particular ecological system in which they live and mutually influence each other's functioning and the overall health of the system.
