May 2012Dear Subscriber: The Bowen Center published its most recent issue of Family Systems (8.2) in November 2011 and will be publishing its next issue (9:1) in May. In the last two years, there has been renewed enthusiasm for submitting articles to the journal. At this point, the editorial board has accepted articles that come very close to filling two issues, one that will be published in October 2012 and the second that will be published in April 2013. Articles that will appear in the upcoming issue are Suicide and Systems, Triangles, Togetherness, and the Challenge to Forgive, and Self-Harm and Bowen Theory. Dr. McKnight’s faculty case conference is entitled The Challenge of Neutrality in Defining Self with One’s Mother. Two books written in the 1960s are being reviewed in this issue. Stoner, a novel by John Williams, fits exceptionally well with Bowen theory. As Dr. Kerr says in his review, “Most readers will surely feel they know these people and that perhaps they have lived at least parts of their story themselves.” Our Son, Ken by Sarah Lorenz is the only known published account of a family's experience as participants in Dr. Bowen's NIMH Family Study Project. The reviewer, Dr. Butler, is doing research on Dr. Bowen's archived papers of this period at the National Library of Medicine. Articles from past issues (1:1 through 8:1) can be downloaded from our website for your convenience, and most issues can also be purchased in print. We invite you to renew now so that you will be able to receive our May issue directly from the press. We welcome new subscribers who can begin their subscription with the Fall issue (8:2) or with the upcoming issue, whichever they prefer. Our upcoming journals promise to be diverse and stimulating, consistent with the journal’s long history of developing Bowen theory. Your subscription helps make the journal possible and we thank you for your interest in Family Systems. Sincerely yours,  Ruth Riley Sagar, MA Managing Editor
