GROUPS OF INTEREST TO KLEINIANS
MELANIE
KLEIN AND KLEINIANISM
This egroup is devoted to Klein, Bion and others influenced by her, as well as, Fairbairn, Winnicott and more general issues in the object relations tradition. One of the aims on this eGroup is that people should draw others’ attention to new publications and offer comments on and reviews of them. Subscription and comments by people critical of Kleinian ideas are welcome, as long as they are put in a civil and constructive way, but the main aim is to foster discussion among essentially people sympathetic to Kleinian ideas.The egroup is also associated with the ejournal Kleinian Studies, the web site of which is at the human-nature.com web site.
GROUP
RELATIONS
The Group Relations tradition
inspired by W. R. Bion’s _Experiences in Groups_and developed at the Tavistock
Centre and elsewhere by, e.g., A. K. Rice, Pierre Turquet, Gordon Lawrence,
Eric Miller, David Armstrong and others, has led to the regular group
relations conferences throughout the world and has been very influential
in the study of groups and institutions. It also plays an important role
in organizational consultancy. This forum is designed to foster discussion
and to provide a congenial place for writings in this tradition to be
available on the web.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PSYCHOANALYTIC UNDERSTANDING
OF ORGANIZATIONS (ISPSO)
ISPSO is the mailing list (email forum) for the International
Society forthe Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations. Its purpose is to
fostercommunication among managers, consultants, and academics interested
in the psychodynamics of organizations. Questions about the list, or suggestionsfor
its development, should be addressed to Howard SchwartzSchwartz. Any interested
person may subscribe.
There is an extensive archive of papers (many of which
are Kleinian) given at successive annual conferences, along with news
and events, list of members, photos, etc.
OBJECT RELATIONS IN PSYCHOANALYSIS
The
inspiration for this egroup is an interest in Klein, Post-Kleinians, Winnicott,
Fairbairn, Guntrip and other and more recent writers in the object relations
tradition within psychoanalysis. There is an existing list on Bion and
there is an object relations web site, but was formerly no forum, egroup
or web site specifically dedicated to this particular stratum of psychoanalytic
theory. This egroup and its associated web site are designed to fill this
void.
Any
topic within the broad domain mentioned above is welcome. So are interventions
aimed at mounting critiques of this tradition, broadly conceived. However,
civility must be the norm. In addition to theoretical and clinical issues,
we are particularly interested in encouraging applications to the object
relations tradition to literature, film and other aspects of culture and
cultural studies. Submissions for essays for consideration for the web
site should be sent to either of the forum moderators.
PSYCHOANALYSIS
AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE/FREE ASSOCIATIONS
For
discussion of wider social, cultural, philosophical, political, ideological,
institutional and related aspects of psychoanalysis and other psychodynamic
approaches. (This is not to exclude the clinical but to frame clinical
matters contextually.) Matters of concern to the profession, including
funding, efficacy, and critiques are also welcome fare, as is any psychodynamically-related
topic. This forum grew out of an annual conference sponsored by the Department
of Human Relations,University of East London; the quarterly journal, _Free
Associations: Psychoanalysis, Groups, Politics, Culture_, and the Human
Nature Trust (a charity which supports psychoanalytic publishing, teaching
and conferences). The forum was originally designed to reflect the concerns
of the annual conference (now in suspension) and to give them an ongoing
presence.
PSYCHOANALYTIC
STUDIES email forum
This
forum is associated with the journal of the same name and is devoted to
the _academic, scholarly_ discussion of all aspects of psychoanalysis.
Among
the topics envisaged are:history, theory, cultural studies, film, literature,
drama, critical theory, anthropology, art, feminism, gender studies, biography
& autobiography, personality psychology, dynamic psychiatry, social
science - anything which includes a psychoanalytic (or, broadly speaking,
psychodynamic) dimension.
Experiences
and Critiques, is an open, unmoderated forum designed to encourage the
application of psychoanalytic and related psychodynamic approaches to
the understanding of group, institutional, cultural and political processes.
Most
of those who are working on this project are based in London, England
and work in the helping professions, organizational consultancy and group
relations, while some work with ethnic minorities,crisis intervention,
sexual abuse and other applied spheres. What brings them together is in
the conviction that primitive, unconscious, irrationalprocesses play a
much larger part in human relations than is usuallysupposed and that unless
full account can be taken of these processes and unless ways can be found
to understand and contain themthe individual to international relations.
In
particular, the group has made extensive use of the approaches to human
relations developed by Wilfred Bion and others at the Tavistock Institute
of Human Relations, summarised in his _Experiences In Groups_ (London:
Tavistock, 1961) and the tradition of group relations and organizational
consultancy which has followed on from that work in the Tavistock and
elsewhere, in particular, in group relations conferences at Leicester
and elsewhere, e.g., America, Israel, Germany, Australia, India. Other
approaches, both psychoanalytic and systemic, are also drawn upon, in
particular, on the normal role of psychotic anxieties in contributing
to problems in groups and institutions.Group relations events were held
in Sofia in 1992 and 1996, and there was a founding conference of the
project in 1995.
OTHER
RELEVANT WEB SITES
The Psycho-Social Studies Group at the University
of the West of England, Bristol, encompasses a wide range of research
interests and theoretical positions which share in common a commitment
to psychoanalytic and other non-rationalist understandings of the human
subject. It is also concerned with the application of such perspectives
to organisational, social and political issues and with the mutual influencing
of psychoanalysis and contemporary social and political theory.
