Coreene Archer – författare

The unconscious dynamics that surface in groups when authority is exercised are of paramount importance in Group Relations Conferences; this volume addresses these considerations through research findings and speculation on the future of Group Relations both within conferences and outside of them.

This is the sixth instalment in a series of books based on Tavistock Group Relations Conferences and contains a collection of papers presented at the sixth Belgirate conference. Combining chapters on theory and practice, this volume delivers a meditation on the relationships between the physical spaces we inhabit or co-create, the psychic, inner or spiritual space and the liminal space in-between. Group Relations provides a window of understanding into why inequity and intergroup hostilities pervade the modern world alongside a method that illuminates how people consciously and unconsciously contribute to these tensions, whether personally, in groups or in organisations.

This will be an invaluable resource for practitioners, academics, and scholars of Group Relations, as well as managers and organisational members wanting to learn more about how Group Relations methods can contribute to their organisational success.

Identity, Theory, and Practice in Group Relations presents a range of perspectives on group relations, capturing both a social scientific and psychoanalytic perspective.

Each chapter explores themes of identity, theory, and practice, where the process of looking at others and oneself is amplified, and the task of exploring the space we occupy is changed. Identity, Theory and Practice in Group Relations includes discussion of critical race theory, corruption, Black leadership and sibling relations, the role of technology and how it has been adopted and adapted by group relations practitioners, as well as specific perspectives on group relations in Italy and China and reflections on group relations through the COVID-19 pandemic.
