Introduction by: Ruth Riley Sagar, MA

On October 14, 1976, the Georgetown University Family Center, under the auspices of the Georgetown University Department of Psychiatry, sponsored its first Conference on Aging within the Family and Society. Dr. Bowen was the first of several speakers who addressed aspects of the aging process in the context of the multigenerational family and the society of which it is a part. Dr. Bowen’s presentation has particular relevance more than forty years later.
