Podcast 937: Unleashing the Power of Respect: The I-M Approach with Dr. Joseph Shrand

Joining me for this podcast is the Chief Medical Officer of Riverside Community Care headquartered in Dedham MA, a Lecturer of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and triple Board certified in adult psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and a diplomate of the American Board of Addiction Medicine - Dr. Joseph Shrand.

Dr. Shrand has developed a strength based model called The I-M Approach that suggests a fundamental paradigm shift, moving away from pathology to viewing a patient at a current maximum potential. This approach is also what his new book exhibits.

In Unleashing the Power of Respect: The I-M Approach, Dr. Joseph illustrates through his patients' stories that no one is broken. We’re all doing the best we can, with the potential to change in the very next moment. It takes the chaos of life and organizes it into four manageable domains that help us understand who we are and why we do what we do.

THE BOOKUnleashing the Power of Respect takes the chaos of life and organizes it into four manageable domains that help us understand who we are and why we do what we do. Dr. Shrand’s method gives us a clear, actionable path where respect leads to value, and value leads to trust. You control no one but influence everyone, and you get to choose the kind of influence you want to be. All of us want the same thing—to be valued by others. This book is your roadmap to unleashing that power of respect.
