The field has been waiting for a masterpiece like Racial and
Cultural Dynamics in Group and Organizational Life for a long time.
It provides a thoughtful account of the subtle, barely visible, and
sometimes unspeakable influences of racial and cultural dynamics
that occur in groups. Leo Wilton, Binghamton University, State
University of New York I believe that by focusing on group
diversity, this book aligns with a major trend that has not
received enough attention. Christopher J. McCarthy, University of
Texas at Austin This book presents a theoretical framework for
understanding leadership and authority in group and organizational
life. Using relational psychoanalytic and systems theory, the
authors examine conscious and unconscious processes as they relate
to racial and cultural issues in the formation and maintenance of
groups. Unique among group dynamics texts, the book explores
aspects of racial and cultural influences in every chapter. Readers
will enhance their analytic and practice skills in addressing
factors that impact diverse groups and organizations, including
ethical considerations, social roles, strategies for leadership,
dynamics of entering and joining, and termination. Key Features
Case examples help readers integrate theory and practice, as
illustrated in transcripts of interactions from group sessions. A
group work competencies list ensures that readers master concepts
as they progress through the book. An assessment form allows the
student or practitioner to evaluate concrete dynamics of groups,
such as size, and gendered and racial composition.
This text is appropriate for graduate-level courses
incorporating group dynamics and multicultural topics in
departments of psychology, education, counseling, and social work.
It is also a valuable resource for counselors, psychologists, and
other mental health professionals in preparation for group
work."
