Focus & Learning Objectives: This workshop will introduce participants to practical applications of psychoanalytic ideas that will help us become more effective in our roles in our lives and professions, and the organizations and systems we inhabit. These skills are most critical during this time of intense social media and rapid technological change that often demands adaptation beyond the scope and skill set of existing roles.
We will draw on key concepts in the Systems-Psychoanalytic field, which are rooted in the works of Bion, Klein and Freud. These core ideas are used in rich applications in Organizational Consultation, Socio-Analysis, and Group Relations. They greatly deepen our understanding of our multiple roles and intervening in organizational tensions while encouraging growth and development in individuals and groups. We will also carefully consider ways that basic differences in our culture have become disparities that constrain our roles and can thwart organizational functioning.
Design: Each workshop meeting will connect and build upon the other; each week we will read related material and view video clips to help our discussion and work together before each session. The participants and course leaders together will put our learning into action understanding roles and the groups and systems that we live in. The specific topics and learning objectives of this workshop are:
An overview of the history, key concepts and evolving Systems-Psychoanalytic field
How role and our multiple roles can interact and construct our behavior in systems and organizations as consultants, clinicians and clients.
How differences in race, gender, culture, class etc. projected onto roles can become deep disparities which restrict our ability to work and collaborate in the systems we live and engage.
How our intensely changing, digitized technology is transforming our roles, identities and organizational systems.
