Background

About Ed Shapiro

I am a psychiatrist, family therapist, and organizational consultant. I've been involved with psychodynamic social and family systems since doing clinical research on families at the National Institute of Mental Health. In addition to my ongoing clinical work with individuals and families, I founded and directed an innovative family and adolescent treatment program at McLean Hospital in Boston, and was Medical Director/CEO of the Austen Riggs Center for twenty years. I direct experiential conferences on organizational dynamics, consult to family businesses, law firms and health care institutions, coach executives and have written and taught extensively in this country and abroad on these issues. I have a deep and abiding interest in understanding how people can obstruct their own development and am committed to help them be more in charge - in their lives, their social networks and their organizations. Specialties: Psychotherapy, family and couples treatment, executive coaching, organizational consultation
