Thinking About Institutions

by R. D. Hinshelwood

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Hinshelwood (U. of Essex, UK), a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society and founder of two journals on therapeutic communities and psychotherapy, discusses the social and psychological processes surrounding the interplay between the internal world of individuals and the external, social world. He explains institutional phenomena from a perspective informed by a psychoanalytic understanding of the human unconscious, and looks at implications of this perspective for therapeutic work in communities and in psychiatry, for understanding institutions in general, and for reflecting on public and political aspects of society. Distributed by Taylor & Francis.
