Infos

This book explores the ways in which psychoanalytic thinking can be more extensively and effectively used to the benefit of organizations and groups. It provides future and practicing consultants and managers with an understanding of unconscious and non-conscious behaviour in order for them to create the appropriate conditions for change in organizations. It explains psychodynamic concepts and working principles in an accessible language and clearly describes their use in consulting and management practices using case studies. Case studies and examples are included throughout, and a glossary is provided.

Rezensionen

"Vansina and Vansina-Cobbaert (and the two other contributors,
Gilles Amado and Sandra Schruijer, who co-author one chapter each
in the more "empirical" third part of the book) make a quite good
point on why even people who do not hold a great belief in
psychoanalysis and the subconscious processes among people - those
that either hinder, or even can be made to help, change and
learning in organizations - should understand these processes and
learn to read them." (Journal or Workplace Learning)
