Reviewers had the following to say about the book:
"Psychiatrist Murray Bowen's application of natural systems thinking to human behavior radically advanced our understanding of what undermines cohesion and cooperation in social groups. Fox and Baker so deftly explain and illustrate how systems ideas bring order to the sometimes tense and chaotic relationships in a workplace that it is a must-read for employees and employers alike"
"Baker and Fox connect long-held theories that have been central to the treatment of family systems and effectively connect those theories to larger organizational contexts. The authors have made the leap with a practical touch in mind so that managers and leaders at all levels might benefit from their words of wisdom."
This Book presents clear applications of Murray Bowen's concept of the emotional triangle in the family, in organizations, and society. There are contributions from board members of the New England Seminar on Bowen Theory: Peter Titelman, Lauarie Lassiter, and Ann Nicholson.
