'eco' is from the ancient Greek word 'oikos' meaning 'household'
 
While this WUaS, wiki, subject page is for the science of ecology as characterized here in this textbook - Elements of Ecology (8th Edition) - I'm curious both about an 'ecology of attention,' with implications for psychiatry, psychology, as well as psychotherapy, within the family in particular, as well as an ecology of sociocultural processes, such as, for example, the effects of Quaker socioculture, as one of millions of 'sociocultural processes' and their effects, in modernity, - on neurophysiology, and, in terms of 'troopbondage' (see John Money 1988) - vis-a-vis other groups (e.g. city hall folks in S.F., tourists, GLBTQ, the Chinese American community, homeless people, musical groups, etc., as human primates), - both of which may make interesting, WUaS, wiki, Subject pages in the future.
