Douglas LaBier is a business psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Washington, DC, where he is Director of the Center for Adult Development, www.adultdev.org and has begun a blog www.progressiveimpact.org

Douglas consults to senior executives and leaders on ways to create greater alignment between their personal development and goals, and their leadership behavior; with a particular emphasis on infusing green practices into the "DNA" of the organization, and building a positive management culture. He has a long-standing interest in the psychology of the career culture, emotional development, and the interplay between work and mental health, which he first wrote about in his highly acclaimed book, Modern Madness, about 20 years ago. Douglas has published frequently in the Washington Post --- most recently about “Thinking Like Google” -- and other national publications, and he’s appeared frequently over the years on national and local TV and radio.

Currently, he’s working on a book project that redefines what a psychologically healthy, emotionally resilient adult is in today’s post-globalized, interconnected, uncertain culture -- in personal lives, the workplace, and as we all become increasingly global citizens.

A native of upstate New York, he’s lived in Washington, DC for decades --but still loves the Hudson Valley and all of New England.
