The unconscious dynamics that surface in groups when authority is
exercised are of paramount importance in Group Relations
Conferences; this volume addresses these considerations through
research findings and speculation on the future of Group Relations
both within conferences and outside of them. This is the sixth
instalment in a series of books based on Tavistock Group Relations
Conferences and contains a collection of papers presented at the
sixth Belgirate conference. Combining chapters on theory and
practice, this volume delivers a meditation on the relationships
between the physical spaces we inhabit or co-create, the psychic,
inner or spiritual space and the liminal space in-between. Group
Relations provides a window of understanding into why inequity and
intergroup hostilities pervade the modern world alongside a method
that illuminates how people consciously and unconsciously
contribute to these tensions, whether personally, in groups or in
organisations. This will be an invaluable resource for
practitioners, academics, and scholars of Group Relations, as well
as managers and organisational members wanting to learn more about
how Group Relations methods can contribute to their organisational
success.

Group Relations conferences offer opportunities to learn about
group, organisational and social dynamics; the exercise of
authority and power; the interplay between tradition, innovation
and change; and the relationship of organisations to their social,
political and economic environments. This book, the fifth in a
series of Tavistock Group Relations Conferences, contains a
collection of papers presented at the fifth Belgirate conference,
plus three additional papers reflecting on and making sense of
several participants' conference experiences. Taken together, these
chapters study the discourse of Group Relations conferences as well
as reflecting on the changing nature and shifting patterns of this
discourse. In Doing the Business of Group Relations Conferences,
authors reflect on the vicissitudes of meanings this expression
generates.

*Give the gift of poetry this Christmas* Words can be a way to
unlock our feelings. Poetry allows us to be in touch with our
emotions and helps us unlock and explore our vulnerability. You'll
Never Walk Alone is a collection of the kind of inspirational texts
- mainly poems - that can accompany us, whatever we are feeling,
from sorrow to delight. The texts are not just about words which
can console us or comfort us - though they often do this too.
Rather these are poems that allow us to enjoy a full range of
emotions. The poems are organised according to the season in which
they 'belong': we all have seasons of our minds, be they wintery
and dark, or more spring-like and hopeful. Comprising 52 poems,
with analysis by Rachel, You'll Never Walk Alone introduces a poem
for each week of the year plus tips on bringing poetry into your
life. This book will show you how to bring poetry into your
everyday emotional reality, where it can be a new tool for
wellbeing. And one that means you'll never walk alone. 'Like Rachel
Kelly, I passionately believe in the power of poetry to reach the
soul. In times of heartache and joy, this wonderful anthology will
help and delight all through the year. Kelly's brilliant
introduction and explanations of each choice make this an
indispensable companion, always.' - Bel Mooney, writer, journalist
and broadcaster 'Rachel's wonderful book offers a carefully curated
and wisely annotated selection of poems designed to offer support
and solace during the more heart-stopping, heartbreaking,
exhilarating, joyful, and unpredictable times of our life.'

'In a world in which we tend to look to what's new, to cutting-edge
science and to medical breakthroughs for hope in better health,
there's something marvellous in the realisation that one of the
most beautiful and longest-lasting cures has been here all along -
on the internet, on our bookshelves, under our noses. Words - down
the centuries, over the ether, across the miles - have power to
steady us, to make us feel better.' the Observer The ancient
tradition of learning and reciting poetry is renowned for its
wellbeing benefits - from strengthening the mind and boosting
creativity to improving memory. The practice is as valuable as ever
in our busy modern day lives, allowing us to focus on the rhythm of
the present moment, slow down and switch off. A Year of Reading
Aloud celebrates the power of spoken word with a poem to learn and
love for each week of the year. Drawing both on familiar favourites
and new voices, from Sylvia Plath and Maya Angelou to Instapoets
Nikita Gill and Yrsa Daley-Ward - this is a book that will capture
your imagination through verse and help you fall back in love with
this beautiful art form. Includes a foreword by Rachel Kelly,
bestselling author of 52 Small Steps to Happiness and Black
Rainbow.
Walking on Sunshine offers 52 tips, tools and positive ideas (one
for each week of the year) to guide you through the seasons and
better manage the pressures of everyday life.In a diary of her
year, Rachel Kelly shares the strategies that have helped her stay
calm and happy after overcoming depression. Some of the steps
relate to particular experiences and events, such as holidays,
dramas at work and her children's exams; others are useful at any
time. Indeed this is an ideal book to dip into whenever the mood
takes you.Written in the confidential, conversational style of a
good friend and delightfully illustrated by Daily Mail cartoonist
Jonathan Pugh, Walking on Sunshine will act as a constant,
supportive companion through your ups and downs.
Black Rainbow is the powerful first-person story of one woman's
struggle with depression and how she managed to recover from it
through the power of poetry. In 1997, Oxford graduate, working
mother and Times journalist Rachel Kelly went from feeling mildly
anxious to being completely unable to function within the space of
just three days. Prescribed antidepressants by her doctor, and
supported by her husband and her family, Rachel slowly began to get
better, but her anxiety levels remained high, and six years later,
as a stay-at-home mother, she suffered a second collapse even worse
than the first. Throughout both of Rachel's periods of severe
depression, the healing power of poetry became an integral part of
her recovery. As someone who had always loved poetry, it became
something for Rachel to cling on to in times of need - from
repeating short mantras to learning and reciting entire poems -
these words and verses became a powerful force for change in her
life. In Black Rainbow Rachel analyses why poetry can be one answer
to depression, and the book contains a selected 40 of the poems
that provided Rachel with solace and comfort during her breakdown
and recovery. At a time when mental health problems and depression
are becoming more common, and the stigma around such issues is
finally being lifted, this book offers a lifeline for anyone
seeking to understand depression and seek new ways to treat it.
Poetry is free, has no side-effects and, as Rachel can attest,
'prescribing words instead of pills' can be an incredibly powerful
remedy.
