"THE CORNERSTONE CONCEPT:" IN LEADERSHIP, IN LIFE

Dr. Bowen often referred to the concept of differentiation of self as the "cornerstone concept." This new book describes the variation in nature, especially human nature, and it shows us a way to do better with what we have inherited--both genetically and in the emotional process of the generations--from our families. It is a cornerstone for thinking about and accomplishing better functioning in any individual life.
