This list is about organisational dynamics with a particular emphais on a psychodynamic approach to organisations.

The list is moderated by Anil Behal who recently started a thread with the same title as this post. To quote Anil:

In my experience, psychoanalytically informed organizational consulting works well from the standpoint of discovery and diagnosis, framing the presenting problem, and excavating unconscious material, but I am a little skeptical about its efficacy as a tool for intervention in a highly time conscious, contemporary organizational setting. Other approaches like systems thinking, when used in conjunction with psychodynamic models, often produce more receptivity.

I wanted to share with you a paper written by Dr. Chris Davis, who was one of our participants in the Jungian group. The paper is entitled “Off the Couch and Into the Confernce Room: Liberating Jungian Systems from Clinical Oppression” in which Dr. Davis beautifully encapsulates his seminar experiences, and casts some light on the state of Jungian organizational theory. From an organizational dynamics standpoint, I think this makes for some compelling reading.

If you are interested in the paper, go to Orgdyne or email Anil for a copy of the paper.
