"Nature dictates that as individuals we are conceived, are born,
and then at some point later die. The shape of the arc that we
follow, involving growth and development with eventual decline, is
something that we might all like to influence. It has been argued
that the same basic curve, however, is followed by societies,
civilisations and indeed organisations. How does an organisation
influence its trajectory? How do organisations avoid the pull
towards conservatism and protectionism associated with the
developmental plateau found at the top of the curve? . I think that
in this book Professor Alessandra Lemma has given us something of
an insight into this process within one organisation, the Tavistock
and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. In bringing together this
collection of papers, Professor Lemma has undertaken the role of
skilled gardener herself. The work of the Trust is now broad.
Training and education makes up almost half of the activity, while
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services over half of the
clinical work. Professor Lemma has, in this first volume, broadly
focused her attention on our work with Adolescents and Adults She
has clearly selected her authors for their quality and supported
them with similar care. All of this is evident in the chapters that
comprise this book, and in the description of an organisation
struggling to evolve in a manner that links it inextricably to the
communities and society within which it is situated as much as to
its own history."From the foreword by Dr Matthew Patrick, Chief
Executive, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust"
