World War II brought together a group of psychiatrists and clinical
and social psychologists in the British Army where they developed
radical, action-oriented innovations in social psychiatry. They
became known as the "Tavistock Group" since the core members had
been at the pre-war Tavistock Clinic. They created the post-war
Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and expanded on their
wartime achievements by pioneering a new mode of relating theory
and practice, called in these volumes, "The Social Engagement of
Social Science." There are three perspectives: the
socio-psychological, the socio-technical, and the socio-ecological.
These perspectives are interdependent, yet each has its own focus
and is represented in a separate volume. The Institute's dynamic
social science approach to industrial problems, presented in this
second volume, began with Eric Trist's coal-mining program for the
development of more productive and personally satisfying
self-regulating forms of work organization. The whole "Quality of
Life" movement owes its theoretical and empirical basis to this
pathfinding endeavor. Volume I, The Socio-Psychological
Perspective, extended the object-relations approach in
psychoanalysis to group, organizational, and wider social life.
This extension is related to field theory, the personality/culture
approach, and open systems theory. Action-oriented papers deal with
key ideas in social psychiatry, varieties of group process, new
paths in family studies, the dynamics of organizational change, and
the unconscious in culture and society. Volume III will focus on
non-hierarchical forms of organization facilitating
inter-organizational relations in complex and rapidly changing
environments—the socio-ecological perspective. This perspective
is offered as a guide to institution building for the future.
