This book clearly shows that emotions go far beyond the individual and affect both intersubjective and social territories – which in turn reflect back onto the emotional life of the individual.Rolf Haubl, to whom this volume is dedicated, writes the following: "How people deal with their own emotions is, socially speaking, not alone at their discretion. As members of certain sociocultural groups they are expected to bear a certain emotional burden. They are held to certain rules that stipulate who in what situations may show what emotions and with what intensity." The authors of the contributions to this volume deal with the interactions of subjective sensations and emotions in organizations from the vantage point of psychoanalysis, social psychology, sociology, organizational theory, education and literature.
