Review Quotes:
"The distinguished authors of the papers in this collection bring into focus a distinctively group analytic approach to working with staff, teams and organisations. Novakovic and Vincent carefully locate the group analytic in the context of the Tavistock and Systemic approaches to such work. This is a much needed and original contribution to field of applied group analysis and key reading for students and professionals." --Sarah Tucker, National Director of Training, IGA
"This book is a searching view of various ways of working with the dynamics of professionals. Not only is stress in teams a neglected priority, but knowledge about such stress needs to be held within the teams themselves. These Chapters join three traditions; that of Foulkes and the Institute of Group Analysis, as it encounters the Group Relations Tavistock and Systemic approaches. The result is not seamless, but it is an essential synthetic aim to be tackled, by writers now several generations after the founders at Northfield in WW2. The interweaving of the many ideas, complimenting and conflicting with each other, should not be missed." --Bob Hinshelwood, Professor Emeritus, University of Essex
