Ed Shapiro Discusses New Book With Boston Psychoanalytic Society

- By David Fromm

IDI’s Ed Shapiro recently joined colleague Jonathan Kolb, M.D. for a discussion of his new book Finding A Place To Stand: Developing Self-Reflective Institutions, Leaders and Citizens . 

From the Boston Psychoanalytic Society:

The book draws on psychodynamic systems thinking to offer a new understanding of the journey from being an individual to joining society as a citizen. With detailed stories, the steps – and the conscious and unconscious linkages – from being a family member, to entering outside groups, to taking up and making sense of institutional roles, illuminate the process of claiming the citizen role. With the help of leaders who recognise and utilise the dynamics of social systems, there may be hope for us as citizens to use our institutional experiences to discover a place to stand.
