    1THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR

    PERSONAL CHANGE

    MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES AND KONSTANTIN KOROTOV

    Many philosophers, poets, and other thinkers have posited through-out the ages that the key to growth and happiness lies in knowingand accepting oneself. A variation on this theme that leadershipdevelopment starts with an exploration of, and by, the leaderhimself or herself will reappear in many chapters in this book. Inundertaking this kind of human adventure, we use a concise butrobust framework: the clinical paradigm.1 The clinical paradigmis based on several premises. The first premise is that all human

    behavior, even in its most odd or deviant forms, has arational explanation. Although deceptively simple, this prem-ise poses a huge challenge to a business school professor, an exec-utive coach, or other professionals working with leaders; it meansthey will have to use the tools and methods of a psychologicaldetective to uncover explanatory factors underlying the behaviorthey perceive. Fortunately, the leader as an executive educationor coaching client can become a detective as well; the clinicalparadigm, when explained, offers the coach or educator a tremen-

    dous opportunity to use the leaders own behavior as a real-lifecase study, with the added advantage that this particular text issure to be of interest to the executive concerned.

    The second premise of the clinical paradigm tells us that ourunconscious plays a tremendous role in determiningour actions, thoughts, fantasies, hopes, and fears. Theareas outside our direct rational observation and understandingare enormous, although they directly impact what happens in

    the so-called rational domain of our actions. Obviously, untilwe grasp at least some of the content of our irrational domain,it is unlikely that we can do anything with it. Moreover, theunconscious can hold executives as prisoners of their own past,

    THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

    not letting them get rid of things that become a hindrance totheir development and growth as leaders and as human beings.

    Plenty of executives refuse to consider the possibility that theremay be issues in their work and life that originate in the areabeyond their comprehension or their immediate awareness.Faculty members and executive coaches may do well to beginby helping these individuals understand that being afraid oflooking into the unconscious may be counterproductive toones development. Looking into this domain may require cour-age, though, and this is where the leadership development pro-fessional can provide help and support. As an example, in oneof our executive programs, we take participants to an exhibitionabout the life and work of Sigmund Freud. This visit comes as asurprise at the end of a long class day and before a good dinner,and many of the executives initially try to avoid the visit, orreveal their anxiety through complaints or negative comments.However, once in the museum, hearing about Freuds cases andseeing examples of how the unconscious may affect their lives,they start to realize how making the effort to look into oneself

    may significantly boost career and life success.The third premise of the clinical paradigm is that our

    emotions contribute to our identity and behavior.Throughout life, we acquire different ways of expressing andregulating emotion, and in parallel, our cognitive, thinking sidebecomes more sophisticated. Cognition and emotion togethereventually determine what we do and what we dont do. Byexploring our emotions, we can access the more hidden parts ofour identity: the type of emotion we express when doing certainthings, imagining certain events, or dealing with certain peopleexplains in part who we are. Emotional awareness also allowsus to predict what kind of situations we naturally seek or avoid,and what kind of people we prefer or loathe; these insightstherefore help explain our behavioral preferences and relation-ship patterns. Executive educators, coaches, and consultantsmay find the concept of the role of emotions important whenworking with people who have difficulties expressing their

    emotions. By helping individuals acknowledge how they feel,and how their feelings affect their behavior, leadership develop-ment professionals give their clients another lens for perceivingbehavior and another key to changing it.

    MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES AND KONSTANTIN KOROTOV

    The fourth premise of the clinical paradigm states that humandevelopment is an interpersonal and intrapersonal

    process. Our past determines who we are throughout our lives.Our earliest life experiences, over which we obviously had nocontrol, have a deep, lasting impact on our personality andthe patterns of our behavior and relationships. Through earlyinteractions with significant people in our lives, primarily our care-takers, we develop a pattern of responses to the actions, desires,and emotions of others. These responses become engrainedbecause they work in those early situations. Later in life, the sameresponses may no longer be adequate or appropriate.

    THE INNER THEATER

    The clinical paradigm can be described metaphorically asa way of exploring a persons inner theater.2 Behind thecurtain, we all have a rich tragi-comedy playing out on our innerstage, with key actors representing the people we have loved,

    hated, feared, and admired. Early experiences are re-enacted overand over again. Some are extremely painful, and others fill uswith a sense of well-being. These unconscious forces affect notonly love, friendship, and artistic expression, but also patternsof relationships with bosses, colleagues, and subordinates; deci-sion making; management styles; and many other aspects of thework-related parts of life. Every executive and every employeebrings their inner theater, with all its dramas and comedies,to the workplace. Dysfunctional behavior arises when we tryto keep the curtain closed; ultimately, the show must go on.

    Our physical bodies are ruled by motivational need systems,with varying levels of sophistication.3 One need system regu-lates our basic physiological needs, another regulates the needfor sensual enjoyment and sexual excitement. Yet anothersystem causes us to respond to certain situations throughantagonism or withdrawal (fight or flight). Higher-level systemsdeal with the need for attachment and affiliation, and the need

    for exploration and assertion. A product of nature and nurture,each of the need systems increases or decreases in importanceon our inner stage theater in response to innate and learnedresponse patterns. These motivational need systems are among

  • 7/28/2019 Traduccion Prima

    10/29

    6

    THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

    the rational forces behind actions, words, and behaviors thatmay initially seem irrational.

    Another important notion in our understanding of how theinner theater operates is the core conflictual relationship theme,or CCRT.4 Our CCRT develops over time as a theme, or combina-tion of themes, within our motivational needs systems, and takesa prominent position inside us, making a fundamental contribu-tion to who we are, and the way we behave toward others. To putit another way, we can say that our basic wishes are reflected inour life-scripts. CCRT adds the nuances and shading that makeseach of us unique. We bring our CCRT-colored behaviors andexpectations to work and society, and sometimes the expecta-tions are different from reality.

    CONFUSION IN TIME AND PLACE: THE T-FACTOR

    The four premises of the clinical paradigm provide importantkeys to understanding behavior and relational patterns. By

    exploring an individuals inner theater, not only do we revisittheir past, but we can also draw parallels between past relation-ships and current behavior.5 All of us are subject to a relationalconfusion in time and place, which gives rise to what arecalled transferential patterns, the act of using behavior patternsfrom the past to deal with situations in the present. Lookingat transferential reactions can provide important insight intowhy executives behave in certain ways in certain situations.Consultants and faculty in executive programs need to realizeand accept that executives may well have a seemingly irrationalreaction to some of the people they work with. In addition, itis quite likely that the executive will experience some form oftransferential response to the professor or coach; these responsesshould be discussed as they arise.

    The concept of transference is grounded in observations of howhuman beings develop and mature. Through interactions withparents, family members, teachers, and other authority figures we

    encounter, we develop behavior patterns that become the basisfor specific cognitive and affective software. These patterns canbe activated by particular cues without our awareness; we meetsomeone who subconsciously reminds us of a nagging older

    sister, and we react as if she really were that older sister. This kindof transferential trigger may occur several times a day.

    To put it more precisely, transference is the process by whichone person displaces onto another thoughts, ideas, or fantasiesthat originated with figures of authority encountered very earlyin an individuals life. It is a revival or reliving of issues fromthe past directed toward persons in the present. Executives needto understand that the phenomenon of transference is naturaland ubiquitous, although we are not always capable of noticingand recognizing it.

    Transference can erase the psychological boundary between pastand present, causing people employees and executives alike toreplay the scripts that they have lived in the past. Followers mayattribute unusual, almost mystical, powers or qualities to theirleaders; thus charismatic leaders are born in organizations. It mayalso happen that, unwittingly, villains are created in a similarfashion, when issues from a dark past become attributed to theorganizational leader. In all cases, a subjective reality materializes.This may happen even if people attempt to resist it. Leadership

    development professionals need to help executives see that thetendency to modify and distort the whole context of relationshipsis present in all meaningful interactions, including work-relatedones. In addition, a clinically informed coach or consultant mayuse the phenomenon of transference as a source of clues abouthow the leader acts toward other significant people in his or herorganization, and how he or she reacts to important events.

    Obviously, leadership development professionals, faculty, andcoaches are also human beings, and all of the above applies tothem as well. When forming a relationship with an executive,they need to be aware of counter-transference a phenomenonin which the executive becomes an outlet for the transferentialreactions of the helping professional.6 Coaches and educatorsneed not only to recognize such reactions in themselves, butalso to find ways of using the information about their ownfeelings and reactions to help the leader become more aware ofthe types of cues he or she provides to others, and the possible

    responses of people to those cues. A coach or educator attuned tohis or her inner theater may recognize situations when his or herown transferential reactions may serve as sources of importantinsights in coaching or developmental relationships.

    THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

    No discussion of transference in the leadership developmentcontext can be complete without a special emphasis on two

    subtypes of the phenomenon that are especially common inorganizational settings. They are mirroring and idealizing.7Mirroring and idealizing have their roots in our very earlyinteractions with other people. Most would probably agreethat the first mirror a baby looks into is its mothers face.The quality of an individuals early relationship with his orher mother (or other primary caretaker replacing the mother)significantly contributes to the shaping of identity and mind.Through mirroring, from individuals around us we learn whowe are and how we should behave. We internalize signals fromsignificant others, in turn dealing with the world on the basisof these behavioral suggestions. As children, we cope withour sense of fragility and insignificance by idealizing adults assources of protection. We imagine them as strong and infallible.In the normal course of psychological development, we inter-nalize the idealized parental figure, recreating an internal senseof power and security.

    As authority figures, leaders fit easily into the subcon-scious imagery of a parental role. Followers very commonlymanifest transference reactions through the idealization of theirleader. This creates an equivalent to the sense of security andimportance that they experienced in their early years throughidealizing other significant adults. Subordinates following theunconscious psychological temptation of associating omnipo-tence with the leader may relinquish all responsibility andautonomy. Just as fears of fairy tale characters or of a big dog inthe neighborhood could be overcome with the help of a parent,employees often hope leaders will protect them from the threatsof downsizing, change, delocalization of jobs, and other suchfears that modern workers face.

    Obviously, leadership development professionals also haveto be aware of the mirroring and idealizing processes takingplace in their interactions with executives. The latter may alsofeel vulnerable and insecure in the illusory world of leadership

    described in popular books. The psychological challenges andpressure faced by todays leaders (mentioned in the introduc-tion to this book) make this leadership world confusing andfrightening to many. As leaders look for support from coaches

  • 7/28/2019 Traduccion Prima

    13/29

    MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES AND KONSTANTIN KOROTOV

    and executive development professionals, it should not bedifficult to imagine that the latter may also become idealized

    protective figures for a leader dealing with his or her fears andanxieties. As it is not uncommon in todays coaching world tosee people who facilitate clients dependency on their services(albeit unconsciously), it is really important for a leadershipdevelopment professional to assess from time to time if heor she is not turning into a similar object of idealization forthe leader.

    THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PAINKILLERS: DEFENSE MECHANISMS

    Pain and suffering are unlikely motivators for most people.Psychological pain may be as difficult to tolerate as physical pain,and sometimes it is even stronger. To survive, we develop defensemechanisms, ways of protecting our sense of self when we feelunder attack. Our psychological defense mechanisms rangefrom the primitive to the sophisticated, and allow us to remain

    relatively functional even when we are suffering. Like physicalpainkillers, psychological defense mechanisms provide a tempo-rary relief from suffering and discomfort. But if the underlyingcause is left untreated, the pain will return.

    Any painkiller has a list of precautions with regard to its use.You should refrain from driving a car while taking codeine, forexample. Then there is the risk of becoming too dependenton the medication. Likewise, leadership is one of those areaswhere painkillers have to be taken with caution. A leader whoconstantly resorts to psychological defense mechanisms toavoid facing painful situations may lose touch with reality,distort it, or create his or her private, illusionary world, often atthe cost of shareholders, employees, and clients.

    Descriptions of psychological defenses are included in theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders publishedby the American Psychiatric Association,8 which makes it seemas though anybody who resorts to these types of defense must

    be truly crazy. But this is false; healthy people, leaders included,use them. What is important is to watch out for defenses thatare primitive, misplaced, and potentially costly to the career ofthe executive and the health of his or her organization. Among

  • 7/28/2019 Traduccion Prima

    14/29

    10

    THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

    such potentially costly defenses are denial, repression, rational-ization, intellectualization, and projection.

    Denial is a way of pretending unconsciously that importantand significant things have not happened. It is about ignor-ing reality, despite the obviousness of the situation or factsto everybody else. Repression, an extreme version of denial, isabout making a particular issue psychologically non-existent.In rationalization, people come up with internally acceptableexcuses and explanations for what has happened, twisting real-ity in the process. Intellectualization is another reality twistingmechanism, through which people make the emotional sideof an issue psychologically invisible, and concentrate theirenergy on the intellectual side of the topic. Projection is a wayof making peace with an internal desire that, paradoxically, theindividual believes is unacceptable, by attributing that desireto others.

    Lower-level defense mechanisms also include passive-aggressivebehavior, reaction formation, conversion, regression, acting out,and displacement. Higher-level mechanisms include positive iden-

    tification, affiliation, constructive rituals, overcompensation, subli-mation, humor, and altruism. Executive development professionalsneed to learn to recognize the signs of these various defenses andto inform executives about them. An important point is that evenhigher-level defense mechanisms sometimes hide important issuesthat may need to be explored for an executive to move forward inhis or her behavior.

    Importantly, leadership coaches, consultants, and facultymembers also need to learn to deal with their own defensemechanisms. Working with todays executives is not for thefaint of heart. Helping leaders become better equipped psycho-logically for the challenges they face often requires the quali-ties of a good-enough caretaker: someone who provides asafe environment, able to absorb the executives anxiety whilesimultaneously challenging the individual to move forward.This role is not always comfortable, and executive develop-ment professionals may need to see if, by chance, they them-

    selves are clinging to psychological defense mechanisms thatprevent them from being effective in helping the leader inquestion.

    ADDRESSING THE PHENOMENON OF NARCISSISM

    IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

    From developmental psychology we know that the healthyprocess of human growth is necessarily accompanied by a degreeof frustration. During a babys intrauterine existence, any needsthat exist are taken care of immediately and automatically. Thissituation changes the moment an infant makes its entry intothe world. In dealing with the frustrations of trying to makehis or her needs and wants known, and as a way of coping withfeelings of helplessness, the infant tries to retain the originalimpression of the perfection and bliss of intrauterine life bycreating both a grandiose, exhibitionistic image of the self andan all-powerful, idealized image of the parents.9

    Over time, and with good enough care, these two configu-rations are tamed by the forces of reality especially by parents,siblings, other caretakers, and teachers, who modify the infantsexhibitionism and channel the grandiose fantasies. How themajor caretakers react to the childs struggle to deal with the para-

    doxical quandary of infancy how to resolve the tension betweenchildhood helplessness and the grandiose sense of self foundin almost all children is paramount to the childs psychologi-cal health. The resolution of that tension is what determines apersons feelings of potency versus impotence. Inadequate resolu-tion often produces feelings of rage, a desire for vengeance, and ahunger for personal power. If that hunger is not properly resolvedin the various stages of childhood, it may be acted out in highlydestructive ways in adulthood. A lot hangs on the good enoughparenting mentioned earlier. Children exposed to extremes ofdysfunctional parenting often believe that they cannot rely onanybodys love or loyalty. As adults, they remain deeply troubledby a sense of deprivation, anger, and emptiness, and they copewith this by resorting to narcissistic excess.

    From a conceptual point of view, coaches and educators, aswell as their clients, need to make a distinction between twovarieties of narcissism: constructive and reactive.10 Constructive

    narcissists are those who were fortunate enough to have care-takers who knew how to provide age-appropriate frustration inother words, enough frustration to challenge, but not so much

  • 7/28/2019 Traduccion Prima

    16/29

    12

    THE CLINICAL PARADIGM: A PRIMER FOR PERSONAL CHANGE

    as to overwhelm. These caretakers were able to provide a sup-portive environment that led to feelings of basic trust and to

    a sense of control over ones actions. People exposed to suchparenting tend to be relatively well-balanced, have a positivesense of self-esteem, a capacity for introspection, an empatheticoutlook, and radiate a sense of positive vitality.

    Reactive narcissists, on the other hand, were not as fortunateas children. Instead of receiving age-appropriate frustration,they received over- or under-stimulation, or chaotic, inconsis-tent stimulation, and thus were left with a legacy of feelings ofinadequacy and deprivation. As a way of mastering their feel-ings of inadequacy, such individuals often develop an exag-gerated sense of self-importance and self-grandiosity, and aconcomitant need for admiration. As a way of mastering theirsense of deprivation, they develop feelings of entitlement, believ-ing that they deserve special treatment and that rules andregulations apply only to others. Furthermore, having not hadempathic experiences, these people lack empathy; they areunable to experience how others feel. Typically, they become

    fixated on issues of power, status, prestige, and superiority.They may also suffer from what has been called the MonteCristo Complex (after the protagonist in Alexandre DumasThe Count of Monte Cristo), becoming preoccupied by feelings ofenvy, spite, revenge, and/or vindictive triumph over others; inshort, they become haunted by the need to get even for real orimagined hurts.11

    Undoubtedly, faculty and executive coaches will see narcis-sistic behavior of both types among those with whom theywork. Failure to pay attention to a factor such as narcissism inthe executive may lead to frustration for both the executive andthe helping professional in the short term, and to confusion anddissatisfaction in the longer term. Moreover, by not paying atten-tion to the issue, intentionally or unintentionally, the leadershipdevelopment professional may fail to engage the leader in thechange process. The outcome of such an incomplete interven-tion (whether through coaching or a leadership development

    executive program) is often seen in all-mighty executives who aretotally convinced that everybody around them must change, andwho are ready to work hard on changing others but who forgetsthat the change in an organization starts with themselves.

    MANFRED F. R. KETS DE VRIES AND KONSTANTIN KOROTOV

    KNOW THYSELF

    These descriptions of the premises of the clinical paradigm andconcepts are by no means comprehensive or complete. The goalof this chapter is simply to introduce the practicing leadershipdevelopment professional to some areas of knowledge that maybe helpful in working with leaders who aspire to be more effectivein creating healthier organizations. The themes presented in thischapter will appear again in greater depth in subsequent chapters,both in theoretical discussions, and practical applications of someof the ideas and methods described. The concepts outlined in thischapter can also serve as an introduction to sophisticated execu-tives interested in using the principles of the clinical paradigm intheir own leadership development process.

    By exploring present realities and fantasies in the lightof past experiences, people whose personality characteristicshave been largely formed (this includes most people over 30)can still make significant changes in their behavior. The clini-cal paradigm supports learning from past mistakes in a new

    way, through examining repetitive behavior patterns that havebecome dysfunctional and a liability. In short, this kind of self-exploration in an organizational context can help executiveswith one of the most difficult leadership tasks they may everface: changing themselves.
