I have been privileged to read several of David Levine's books which bring psychoanalytic theory, long misunderstood as applicable only to work with individuals, to a broader audience. In this excellent book, Professor Levine shows how psychoanalytic principles and concepts can be translated meaningfully into the everyday life of us all. He expertly illustrates the applicability of psychoanalysis to society in its broadest sense, and to the organisations and groups of which it is constituted. This is accomplished most notably in Part III and especially the discussion of moral order and of the method of introspection, which follows up on his earlier work, The Capacity for Ethical conduct and deals with matters of increasing importance internationally. Any reader interested in society, politics, and organisational life, cannot but be enriched by this generous and clear contribution. -Dr Stanley Gold, Past President, International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations.
