Dr. De Haan presents a robust model of the issues and choices that arise for the consultant, and brilliantly interweaves well-chosen passages from King Lear to exemplify the model. Not only is this a book to delight the philosophically inclined among us, but it also beautifully illustrates De Haan's down-to-earth approach to consulting. After forth years of consulting practice, I found insights into consultant-client relationships that had previously escaped me. De Haan's approach is highly practical; if we were to follow more closely, we and our clients would both profit thereby.'- Roger Harrison, Organisation Development Consultant and Writer, from the Foreword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue -- Introduction -- Exposition -- Development -- Crisis and peripeteia -- Denouement -- Catastrophe and exodus -- Conclusion -- Epilogue","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50578568937815,"sku":"9781855759862","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781855759862.jpg?v=1746099872","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-consulting-process-as-drama-learning-from-king-lear-9781855759862","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
