Description
This volume of reprints and original papers represents an introductory interdisciplinary survey of writings in Group Relations theory and practice.
The papers fall into two general categories which transcend this volume’s organization into Theory, Method, and Application.
The first group contains the initial writings of Bion, Rice and Miller from the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, in London, particularly its Centre for Applied Social Research.
In the second group are the “‘second generation”‘ American studies, largely in the field of application, derived from many intellectual centers throughout the country. The work of Margaret Rich at the Washington School of Psychiatry who, with a few associates, introduced Group Relations Conferences to the United States, bridges these categories.
