In this book a psychoanalytic clinician and theoretician of world
renown integrates current knowledge of the psychodynamics of
individuals, groups, and organizations into a new theoretical
framework. Dr. Otto F. Kernberg shows how the interplay of
libidinal and aggressive impulses enacted within the dynamic
unconscious of the individual also occurs at the level of groups
and social organizations. He sheds new light on the turbulent
nature of human interactions in groups, suggests how this
understanding may help to resolve conflicts at the group and
institutional levels, and provides a model for achieving effective
institutional change. Dr. Kernberg applies his integrative frame to
the analysis of the regressive processes in groups, the nature of
institutional leadership, and the conditions of rational
functioning that may protect the organization from the most
dangerous consequences of regressive group processes. To illustrate
the therapeutic uses of the model, he considers its applications to
group therapy and the therapeutic community; to illustrate its
consultative potential, he includes a section on problems in
psychoanalytic organizations. In conclusion, the author extends his
theoretical framework to the social sciences, proposing
contributions to the psychology of ideology formation, bureaucracy,
conventionality, and the political process.
