Reviews

This is possibly the best book in print on understanding and working effectively with the psychodynamics of everyday organizational life. - Michael A. Diamond, Director, Center for the Study of Organizational Change, University of Missouri Seth Allcorn is one of the finest writers on the psychoanalytic study of organizations today. His latest book, Organizational Dynamics and Intervention, distills twenty-five years of organizational leadership, consultation, and research. He approaches organizational understanding through the ingenious metaphor of insects' compound eye, which enables them - and us - to see and observe the same phenomenon through multiple lenses. Dr. Allcorn has written a wonderfully fluent, evocative, readable book on the unconscious dynamics of workplace experience - an often overlooked dimension of what an organization 'is.' It deserves to be widely read and used as a classroom text. - Howard F. Stein, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
