The book introduces the basic work principles of psychoanalysis on which the psychodynamic approach is largely based. Subsequently, the psychodynamic approach is explored in its four major dimensions: an evolving body of knowledge, a perspective for looking at social systems, a way of inquiry and a way of taking action. Three kinds of actions are identified and explored for leading meaningful change:
- Creating conditions to enable healthy mental processes to take their course
- The introduction of methods and techniques that facilitate task accomplishment
- Creating conditions that change the dynamics of the work system itself in a more sustainable way.
The critical issues of problem definition, locating causal factors and being personally involved are discussed along with strategies for dealing with them. Practical case examples bring key notions and principles to life.
Its jargon-free style means this book is accessible to people without any previous training in psychoanalytic work. It is a unique guide for consultants and managers who are interested in increasing the depth and effectiveness of their ways of dealing with organisational issues, change and development.
