Unconscious at Work by Anton Obholzer & James Krantz & Vega Zagier Roberts
Individual and Organizational Stress in the Human Services
Designed for managers and workers in the human services, offering new perspectives on their own experiences of stress at work. The contributors explore the difficulties experienced by managers and staff in a wide range of care settings, such as hospitals, schools and community agencies.Unconscious processes in organizations add greatly to the stresses inevitable in caring work. "The Unconsious at Work" is designed for people actually managing and working in the human services and offers them new ways of looking at their own experiences of stress at work. The contributors, all past and present members of the Tavistock "Consulting to Institutions" Workshop, explore the difficulties experienced by managers and staff in a wide range of care settings, including hospitals, schools and community care agencies. They draw on ideas from psychoanalysis, open systems theory, Bion's work with groups, and group relations training, ideas which will enable readers to increase their understanding of the processes which undermine effectiveness and morale within institutions. |
