MELANIE
KLEIN AND KLEINIANISM
eGroup
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: http://www.human-nature.com/

GROUP
RELATIONS
eGroup
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)
email forum
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@ Schwartz@oakland.edu.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.http://www.sba.oakland.edu/ispso
OBJECT RELATIONS IN PSYCHOANALYSIS
eGroup
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
email forum
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.
The
email forum is associated with a WWW site where papers given
at annual conferences and other relevant documents available
for downloading or reading on-line:
It
is also associated with a hard copy journal,
http://www.human-nature.com/free-associations/index.html
These
web sites form part of a larger project with an extensive web
site and several email forums which are designed to bring together
various disciplines concerned with the understanding of human
nature

HUMAN
RELATIONS, AUTHORITY AND JUSTICE:EXPERIENCES AND CRITIQUES email
forum
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.
The forum is related to an electronic journal of the same name based at http://www.human-nature.com/HRAJ/home.html.
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.
