Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The author has been a leading figure internationally in the fields
of organizational consultancy and group relations for many years.
Robert French and Russ Vince have gathered together, for the first
time, his key writings in this area. This is essential reading for
managers and leaders, as well as organizational consultants,
academics and students of organizations. Part of the Tavistock
Clinic Series.
Bernard Gert's moral theory is among the clearest and most
comprehensive on the contemporary scene. It touches on elements of
the dominant ethical orientations -utilitarianism, Kantianism,
contractionism, and virtue ethics without fitting neatly into any
of those categories. For that reason, Gert's moral theory appeals
to many ethicists dissatisfied with each of the dominant
formulations. Rationality, Rules, and Ideals presents Gert's
Morality, the reactions by a number of prominent scholars, and
Gert's response. All told, it is a remarkably wide-ranging study of
ethical theory. The work is broken down into six parts, making
Rationality, Rules, and Ideals perfect for a broad-ranging course
on ethical theory, following Gert's critiques of utilitariansim,
Kantianism, and virtue ethics. Both students and professionals will
find much material to work with in this volume. The papers
contribute not only to the understanding of Gert's wide-ranging
theory but to a number of important topics in ethic theory, the
theory of rationality, and applied ethics.
Both as a practitioner and a thinker, David Armstrong has, for many
years, been a leading figure internationally in the fields of
organizational consultancy and group relations. In papers presented
at a wide range of gatherings -- in North America, Israel,
Australia and Bulgaria, as well as in mainland Europe and the
United Kingdom -- he has produced a body of work in which he
explores the practical application of psychoanalytic thinking in
organizational contexts. He is particularly well-known for his
innovative interpretations of the ideas of Wilfred Bion. This book
brings together for the first time his key writings in this area,
and should become essential reading for managers and leaders who
wish to deepen their understanding of their experiences in their
roles, as well as for organizational consultants, academics and
students of organizations. These are "occasional" pieces: that is,
they were written for specific occasions and specific audiences.
Together they make up a fascinating range of novel ideas that are
both theoretically challenging and deeply practical, illustrated as
they are throughout by case material from his work with
organizational clients. Each chapter is set in context, to explain
the evolution of the ideas presented, and the Introduction, written
for the occasion, both sets the whole in context and expands on the
key notion of "organization-in-the-mind."
Additional Illustrators Are Lynwood M. Chase, Century Photos And
The Field Museum Of Natural History.

Co-occurring mental illness and addiction are brain diseases that
affect individuals, families, and communities regardless of
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or upbringing. There is no magic
bullet for these chronic illnesses, but there are effective
treatments through which recovery is achieved. When the Door Opened
tells the authentic stories of twelve men who have experienced
treatment and recovery from co-occurring mental illness and
substance use disorders. Mary Ryan Woods, RNC, and Katherine
Armstrong interviewed current and past participants from
WestBridge, a dual diagnosis treatment program. Based on their
dialogue, each chapter shares the raw memories and candid
reflections of one man regarding his journey. Every individual who
experiences treatment for co-occurring disorders defines recovery
uniquely. By giving voice to these experiences, we can decrease the
misconceptions and stigma faced by individuals in recovery from
mental illness and substance use disorders.
This is Vol 3 of the Handbook of Industrial Organization series
(HIO). Vols 1 & 2 published simultaneously in 1989 under the
editorship of Richard Schmalensee and Robert Willig. Many of the
chapters in these successful volumes were widely cited and appeared
on graduate reading lists, and some continue to appear even
recently. Since the first volumes published, the field of
industrial organization has continued to evolve. As the editors
acknowledge in the Preface, these volumes had some gaps and this
new volume aims to fill some of those gaps. The aim is to serve as
a source, reference and teaching supplement for industrial
organization, or industrial economics, the microeconomics field
that focuses on business behavior and its implications for both
market structures and processes, and for related public policies.
The first two volumes of the HIO appeared at roughly the same time
as Jean Tirole's book The Theory of Industrial Organization.
Together they helped revolutionize the teaching of industrial
organization, and provided a state-of-the-art summary. Tirole's
book is concerned with the relevant theory, and several reviewers
noted that the first two volumes of HIO contained much more
discussion of the theoretical literature than of the empirical
literature. In most respects, this imbalance was an accurate
reflection of the field. Since then, the empirical literature has
flourished, while the theoretical literature has continued to grow,
and this new volume reflects that change of emphasis.

*Chapters are contributed by some of the leading experts in their
