Replete with explanations of key theories, practical guidance and exercises, this book demonstrates how systems psychodynamics can be used by consultants to plan and put into action organisational changes in four main areas: change planning and management; action research and evaluation; leadership and whole systems; and professional development and next steps. In light of systems psychodynamics, rather than functioning as a leader of change processes, the role of an organisational development consultant is one of providing containment, understanding and facilitation for others to take up \u003ci\u003etheir\u003c\/i\u003e leadership roles responsibly in \u003ci\u003etheir\u003c\/i\u003e change processes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a focus on practical application in real situations, this book will be invaluable for psychoanalysts, managers, policymakers, consultants and researchers in a wide range of professional and clinical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lawlor \u003c\/strong\u003eis professional partner at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, specialising in research and consultancy practice; co-director on \u003ci\u003eOrganisational Consultancy: Working with the Dynamics; \u003c\/i\u003evisiting lecturer at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust; group relations consultant; formerly, head of the Social Work Discipline at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust; and principal consultant at Tavistock Consultancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMannie Sher \u003c\/b\u003eis principal social scientist at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations; formerly, director of Group Relations Programme; formerly, chair of British Association of Psychotherapists; former board member of International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations (ISPSO); author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dynamics of Change: Tavistock Approaches to Improving Social Systems \u003c\/i\u003e(2013); and editor of \u003ci\u003eDynamics at Boardroom Level: A Tavistock Primer for Leaders, Coaches and Consultants; Lawlor, D. \u0026amp; Sher, M.
