Abstract

Douglas Kirsner traces his own collaboration with Elliott Jaques to explain the trajectory of Elliott's life and work, in particular his overall goals of understanding individuals and their social and biological contexts. He describes Elliott's approach as ranging across many disciplines and explores why, given its value, his work has been has been taken up relatively little by others. Kirsner describes who Elliott was and how he approached his stratified systems theory, requisite organization, work. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
