 Cowan's current focus is on exploring the ontological questions human beings face and the relationship of these questions to issues of power and control, meaning,  value, learning, and choices. He developed a new model for understanding and responding to violence. The "Violence Integrative Prevention and Restoration (PAR) Model" is described in his two forthcoming books. It is also the subject of many of his presentations. A derivative model, the "Integrative Power Management (IPM) Model" is intended for a more global application in human dynamics.
