Death of an institution.
The impact on an institution of the death of its leader is examined. The vulnerability to loss and change that was engendered and the decline and eventual demise of the organization is described. A way of understanding the process of grief in institutions, drawing on psychoanalytic, attachment and systems theory, is proposed.
