Overview

Identity, Theory, and Practice in Group Relations presents a range of perspectives on group relations, capturing both a social scientific and psychoanalytic perspective. Each chapter explores themes of identity, theory, and practice, where the process of looking at others and oneself is amplified, and the task of exploring the space we occupy is changed. Identity, Theory and Practice in Group Relations includes discussion of critical race theory, corruption, Black leadership and sibling relations, the role of technology and how it has been adopted and adapted by group relations practitioners, as well as specific perspectives on group relations in Italy and China and reflections on group relations through the COVID-19 pandemic. This book 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 Groups Relations methods can contribute to their organisational success.
