“Being at CTDS has helped
me to learn so much about
myself, to understand more
about being a therapist and
to crystallize my professional
dreams.”
“Sibling Group is both hard and easy. I
like the projects but it’s hard to talk about
this stuff. It used to be hard to talk about
this but now it’s getting easier.”
“We as parents found out
how our daughter thinks
and works. We can now be
proactive and get her the
help and support she needs.
We are now on the right
path.”
“Your insight, advice and
kindness helped to give us
not just a road map, but
also the emotional lift to
feel the joy in our journey.”
“CTDS has created a “holding environment” for our
son within our public school. He feels safe enough
to take chances, expose his vulnerabilities and work
with some very difficult emotions.”
“The excellent teaching pro-
vides relevance to clinical work
in medicine & psychiatry.”

by Aleph in Nadine and Dawn’s class
Edward Cunningham recently joined Boston University as an Assistant Professor focusing on energy
markets, energy policy, and the political economy of development. He is a research fellow at the Ash
Center and the Belfer Center of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, and a
consultant to public and private sector organizations. Prof. Cunningham graduated from Georgetown
University, received an A.M. from Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and received his
Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at M.I.T. He was selected as a Fulbright Fellow to the
P.R.C., during which time he conducted his doctoral fi eldwork as a visiting fellow at Tsinghua Univer-
sity. Edward’s late father was a former CTDS Board member and Edward’s brother, an alumnus of the
school, passed away in 2004.
When asked about his work Edward described that for most professors, their lives are primarily about
research and the creation of knowledge, with rewarding interludes of teaching. He enjoys research
because it allows him to interact with many individuals from a range of cultures, industries, and perspectives. Teaching appeals to
him because he is able to share what he learns with others and inspire them to teach as well. He was fortunate, early on to become
fascinated with change in China. That change has become the defi ning story of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and arguably
of his generation.
Edward describes his involvement with CTDS as follows:
“My initial relationship with CTDS was very much a personal one. My brother William attended CTDS and my father served on
the board. I even served as an intern at CTDS while in high school. However, the relationship has transformed in important ways.
Serving on the board as an adult has enabled me to learn about how others - other students, other families - cope with profound
challenges like my brother’s. In this sense, I suppose board service fulfi lls selfi sh needs on my part - a selfi shness that perhaps
serves as the best foundation for any long- term commitment. Selfi sh in the sense that I feel as if service on the board does allow
me to act in some small way in a capacity that I was unable to act when I was younger. I was too young, too immature, and too
overwhelmed while my brother was alive to help him cope in all the ways that an older brother probably should. I feel that that
sense of overwhelming died with him, and I am left with a need to in some way support others, however indirectly, by supporting
the teachers and the mission of CTDS.
What strikes me most is a common reaction that parents, including my own, have when they fi rst visit the school. Many
fi nally feel as if someone is listening to them - someone is treating their child holistically and not in an a la carte fashion. I think
our society tends to adopt a purely medical and therefore technical approach to children with special needs. CTDS addresses the
medical, and emotional needs of the child, but does so by addressing the needs of the entire family. The Sibling group, Parent, and
Grandparent groups are indicative of this.
In terms of skills, I at least like to think that I bring an ability to listen objectively, an ability to provide honest feedback
to ideas, and an ability to think clearly about what areas of expertise, personalities, and functions this board must bring together to
be an effective steward of the school. In terms of perspective, I hope to add the perspective of a long time sibling of someone who
attended the school, and who was shaped by the school, the perspective of a younger generation who questions established patterns
of thought, of teaching, and of care to ensure that positive change is always welcome, and the perspective of a political scientist
who believes that an institution’s strengths are found both in the people within its walls, but also the norms of a culture that are sup-
ported informally and formally.
I used to walk with my dad on the breakwater at the beach. My father was always ahead of me. I would follow learning
how to negotiate the rocks and maintain secure footing. It was a ritual. I would watch and follow in silence. At the end of the rocks
we would talk and then turn around and resume the same pattern my father ahead and I would follow. It was a place of security I
would draw on, and then he died. Being on the CTDS board is like a bridge. Following where he put his foot. Now I am in the
lead.”
