Description of  The Art and Science of Working Together: Practising Group Analysis in Teams and Organisations (The New International Library of Group Analysis)

The Art and Science of Working Together: Practising Group Analysis in Teams and Organizations is a primary resource for anyone wishing to learn more about the complex unconscious dynamics of organizations, providing a practical guide for organizational work, a guide to how to improve things, and a strong theoretical foundation in the group analytic concept of the tripartite matrix.
