Summary

This book delves into the complex relationship between workforce health and organisational well-being, presented through the lenses of psychoanalysis, group relations, and systemic observation. It explores the three intertwined dimensions of experience: the bodily, the emotional, and the social, drawing inspiration from Bion's protomental matrix concept to examine group dynamics, basic assumption mentalities, and organisational 'diseases' along with their potential remedies.

Description

Using the frameworks of psychoanalysis, group relations, systemic organisational observation, consulting and research, The Body of the Organisation and its Health explores the relationship between the health of the work force and the health of organisations.

It seeks to do this through an exploration of experience that has three dimensions linked in a single matrix: the bodily, the emotional and the social. This exploration is inspired by Bion's original idea of the protomental matrix from which the group dynamics of basic assumption mentality are derived, leading to his initial ideas about group diseases and their cures.
