This book presents a sort of angsty identity crisis and offers many clear illustrations of the multiple useful and relevant applications of group relations in different parts of the world, reflecting on the theory of group relations and its relevance to contemporary phenomena.

This book, the third of its kind, is a compilation of chapters based on presentations at the third Group Relations international meeting in Belgirate, Italy during November 2009, plus a number of think pieces from participants reflecting on their experience of the meeting. The book takes yet another step in continuing the discourse, which began in 2003, articulating the relevance of the Group Relations conference method and the timeliness of its application globally. The chapters in the book deal with the personal as well as the organizational journeys of Group Relations practitioners and examine those through the lenses of tradition, succession and creative application. The authors are experienced GR practitioners internationally and together they enrich further the tapestry of Group Relations model and its application and potential.

This book, the second in a series on Tavistock Group Relations Conferences, contains the collection of papers presented at the second Belgirate conference plus four additional papers reflecting on and making sense of several participants conference experiences. Taken together, these papers offer an exciting picture of the Group Relations enterprise
