The Organic And The Inner World (Psychoanalytic Ideas Ser.)

For some years, there has been an unfortunate tendency in the UK for psychiatry and psychoanalysis to be perceived as in opposition to one another, to the detriment of both disciplines. Rather than see 'organic' psychiatry on one side and 'dynamic' psychiatry on the other, the British Psychoanalytical Society now wishes to try to foster closer links between psychoanalysis and psychiatry. To this end, psychoanalysts have been going out to give presentations of their work to various psychiatric departments, in the hope of building up increasing understanding both of current developments in analytic thinking, and of how analysts can learn from psychiatric colleagues. The authors learned, from their experience of putting on a number of Freud events, that there is a great hunger to know more about psychoanalysis, particularly among young people, both those in psychiatric training and in the wider community. In parts of the academic world, there is a particular interest in psychoanalysis; indeed the most subscribed courses in some of our most prestigious universities are those where psychoanalysis is involved.

Organisation and Everyday Life with Dyslexia and other SpLDs

Organisation and Everyday Life with Dyslexia and other SpLDs is about the wide impacts of dyslexia/ SpLD on everyday life. All dyslexic/ SpLD people live with the possibility that their mind will function in a dyslexic/ SpLD way at any moment, regardless of strategies that they have acquired or developed. Even people with many strategies can suddenly find themselves struggling with their dyslexia/ SpLD again. This book is adressed to dyslexic/ spld readers. Organisation is promoted as a tool to minimise the effets of dyselxia /spLD. The book covers: • situations that might disrupt organisation • a systematic approach to organisation • everyday life, study peripherals and employment. It has many life stories to help readers recognise the impacts of their own dyslexia/ SpLD. Dyslexic/ SpLDs have the potential to offer skills and alternative approaches to tasks. Often, the solutions that they devise for themselves are very useful to the non-dyslexic/ SpLD people around them, which can enhance their self-confidence. When organisation suits the individual with SpLD innate intelligence and potential can be realised.

Organisation and Memory: A Review and a Project in Subnormality (Psychology Library Editions: Memory)

Originally published in 1973, this volume looks at the organisation of memory data in, what at the time was termed, ‘mental handicap’. The first part surveys recent work in this important area, giving a general account of experiments and findings. The second part reports a particular piece of research on memory in people with learning difficulties, then called ‘subnormal individuals’. Very much of its time, in terms of the terminology, this was an important book for anyone concerned with people with intellectual disabilities and for experimental psychologists involved with the processes of memory.

Organisation, Motivation und Konflikte in der Freiwilligenarbeit: Eine organisationspsychologische Analyse freiwilligen Engagements in Non-Profit-Organisationen

Kathrin Thiel untersucht in einer längsschnittlichen Studienreihe das Erleben von Konflikten in Non-Profit-Organisationen: Welche Auswirkungen hat das Konflikterleben etwa auf Zufriedenheit oder Bereitschaften zu weiterem Engagement? Und wie bedeutsam ist Konflikterleben dabei im Vergleich zu Motiven und ausgewählten Variablen der Organisationspsychologie, etwa Gerechtigkeitswahrnehmungen? In einer multimethodalen Studienreihe werden dazu über 1.700 freiwillig engagierte Personen verschiedener Non-Profit-Organisationen befragt. Die Befunde bestätigen die negativen Auswirkungen von Konflikten und damit die Notwendigkeit eines organisationspsychologischen Blicks auf Freiwilligenarbeit. Konkrete Ansatzpunkte für ein erfolgreiches Management von Freiwilligen in Non-Profit-Organisationen werden abgeleitet.

Organisation und Entscheidung (Rheinisch-Westfälische Akademie der Wissenschaften #232)

Organisationsbildung setzt eine Erkennungsregel voraus, die erlaubt festzustellen, welche Handlungen und unter welchen Aspekten sie als Entscheidungen der Organisation zu gelten haben. Diese Erkenntnisregel ist zunächst und vor allem eine Mitgliedschaftsregel. Sie legt fest, wer als Mitglied des Systems angesehen wird und in welchen Rollen diese Mitgliedschaft ausgeübt werden kann. Durch Personalauswahl und Rollendefinition wird die Organisation gegen das sie umgebende sonstige Soziale abgegrenzt und ausdifferenziert. 35 Jahre nach der erstmaligen Veröffentlichung von "Funktionen und Folgen formaler Organisation" schließt "Organisation und Entscheidung" das Gesamtwerk Niklas Luhmanns mit einem weiteren Grundlagenwerk zur soziologischen Theorie formaler Organisationen ab.

Der Band diskutiert die Besonderheiten von Organisationalem Lernen in, von und zwischen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen.

Organisationale Resilienz: Kernressource moderner Organisationen (Essentials)

Dieses Buch erklärt, was Organisationen in Zeiten großer Veränderungen und Krisen "resilient" – also widerstandsfähig – gegen schwierige Einflüsse und Gefährdungen macht und was Führungskräfte beitragen können, um die Resilienz der Organisation zu sichern. Resiliente Unternehmen erhalten ihre Funktionsfähigkeit, passen ihre Prozesse und Strukturen an und sind besser auf künftige Herausforderungen vorbereitet – doch was macht eine resiliente Organisation eigentlich aus? Das Buch beleuchtet den Resilienzbegriff aus Sicht verschiedener Disziplinen – u.a. der Psychologie, der Ökologie und der Soziologie – und entwickelt erstmals ein theoretisch fundiertes Modell organisationaler Resilienz, aus dem sich Implikationen für Haltung und Konzeption resilienzfördernder Führung als beständige aktive Gestaltung von Organisationskultur ableiten lassen. Angereichert werden die verständlich beschriebenen Grundlagen durch konkrete Praxisbeispiele und Handlungsempfehlungen. Ein Buch für Personalverantwortliche, Führungskräfte, Berater und Coaches.
