Family Systems: A Journal of Natural Systems Thinking in Psychiatry and the Sciences is an interdisciplinary journal, published since 1994 by the Georgetown Family Center. The aim of the journal is to advance the understanding of human emotional functioning and behavior based on Bowen theory. Reflecting the assumption of Bowen theory that the human family is governed by the same natural forces that govern all life, the journal publishes articles that contribute to a better understanding of any living system.
