In September 1969, Ted Clark, Dennis Jaffe, and Yvonne Durchfort
(now Yvonne Jaffe) started "Number Nine", a crisis telephone line.
Initially this was an attempt to discover from young people
themselves exactly what the needs of young people were, in order
that a program relevant to those needs might be developed. The
crisis line program, in itself, proved useful and meaningful to
young people as they began calling in increasing numbers. Since
many community agencies - through their insistence that young
people cooperate with a value system that does not engender trust -
alienated themselves from these young people, it became
increasingly imperative that the crisis line expand its resources
to include counseling, a crash pad, a residential program, and a
drop-in center. As an alternative to those agencies who insist on
viewing drug use as a problem per se and who do not focus their
attentions on family, school, and personal relationships in
general, "Number Nine" offered realistic and reachable solutions.
Originally published in 1973, Toward a Radical Therapy is a
collection of essays concerning numerous issues which the authors
encountered during the development of an alternative service - an
organization which reflects the values and experiences of young
people (the counter-culture), rather than the values of the
established social order, as a necessary step toward helping people
cope with their problems. The ideas expounded in these working
papers are the outcome of experiences and experiments in attempting
to effect personal and organizational changes basic to creating an
alternative culture. Concurrent with the writing of this book, the
authors discovered numerous conflicts occurring at all levels of
program and institutional development, as well as within
themselves. Personal changes become necessarily interrelated with
social change and organizational structuring. Counseling had to be
redefined as existing theories and methodologies were limited in
their ability to comprehend the constant changes that youth were
undergoing at the time.

Families share how they have maintained and grown their wealth from
generation to generation. While creating wealth is a wonderful
achievement, business families are also concerned with how their
wealth is used to support their values, the lives of their children
and the well-being of the community. Over several generations,
families who are successful in growing their wealth have been able
to reinvent themselves and their business in the face of
significant environmental transformations and internal differences
cause by family dynamics. Borrowed from my Grandchildren is a
fascinating look at how large, long-lasting business families
succeed across generations. Author Dennis T. Jaffe, one of the
leading architects of the field of family enterprise consulting,
has interviewed members of successful, well known, 100-year family
enterprises from 20 countries, who serve as role models for those
wishing to see their wealth positively impact their children,
employees, and communities. Half continue to own their legacy
business and others have gone on to become family offices with a
portfolio of shared assets, but all these families have sustained
their values and identity as a family over more than three
generations. Offering the collected wisdom of nearly 100 global
business families, this insightful book shares the real-life
stories of partners in business and wealth management over three of
more generations. Families that generate rather than reduce their
wealth across generations, known as Generative Families, focus on
engaging across generations and develop collaborative governance
for both family and business to ensure responsible stewardship from
one generation to the next. This unique resource: Presents
real-life stories of families sustaining wealth over generations
Explores both the successes and failures of retaining family wealth
Includes rare private insights from members of prominent wealthy
families Examines the nature of global family enterprises and their
evolution over generations Discusses the financial, human, and
social dimensions of wealth Borrowed from my Grandchildren: The
Evolution of Stewardship in 100-Year Families is an essential read
for family members, non-family executives, family offices, estate
planning lawyers, family business consultants, trust officers,
philanthropic and foundation advisors, financial advisors,
financial planners, CPAs, and other finance professionals.
