‘Holistic Thinking’ in the Legislative Process

This is a column that was published in the CT Post back in 2009.  It was written by a journalist friend of mine who covered the Capitol Building, someone I had extensive chats with about issues of justice, especially for juveniles.  He came up with the idea of having a legislative office of Holistic Thinking.  Ironic in a way to envision us siloing holistic thought, but an outstanding idea at the same time…  Take a moment to read.  This concept could be relevant no matter what the policy issue at hand.
