Psychodynamics for Consultants and Managers (eBook)

Leopold Vansina is an organizational consultant and a part time professor at the Universities of Leuven and Louvain-le-Neuve in Belgium. His experiences in group dynamics (N.T.L. Institute, U.S.A. and the Tavistock Institute, UK) and his training in psychoanalysis became an integrated part of his consulting practice in organizations all over the world. He is a member of the International Association of Psychology, The Academy of Management, the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations, and the Tavistock Institute Association. He has published numerous journal articles and is co-author (with Gilles Amado) of The Transitional Approach in Action published by Karnac books in 2004. Marie-Jeanne Vansina-Cobbaert is a psychoanalyst in private practice in Belgium.

"Vansina and Vansina-Cobbaert (and the two other contributors,
Gilles Amado and Sandra Schruijer, who co-author one chapter each
in the more "empirical" third part of the book) make a quite good
point on why even people who do not hold a great belief in
psychoanalysis and the subconscious processes among people - those
that either hinder, or even can be made to help, change and
learning in organizations - should understand these processes and
learn to read them." (Journal or Workplace Learning)
