Group Relations: Theory and Practice

This channel is for people interested in Group Relations theory and practice. This may include academics, students, leaders, and others who better wish to understand how the systems they inhabit impact them, and how they might impact those systems. Also known as Systems Psychodynamics, Socioanalytic or Tavistock theory, Group Relations is both a theory and a method. The theory is rooted in Open Systems theory, Psychoanalytic theory, and the work of Wilfred Bion. The first section posted here highlights the basics of group relations theory, practice, and research. Other sections focus on various applications and practice of Group Relations (e.g., Role Analysis Series), and theories that build on group relations (e.g., Adaptive Leadership series, and Eco-Leadership series). Upcoming videos will explore various applications of group relations and related theories to understanding the wider social context.
