Programme Philosophy

The programme emphasises experiential learning grounded in Tavistock tradition theory: psychoanalytic insights into unconscious life of groups and institutions, Gestalt attention to embodied presence, systemic thinking about boundary/authority/role/task, and complexity theory’s appreciation of emergence, uncertainty, unpredictability and creative tensions.

Participants develop their capacity to use themselves - body, mind, and the unconscious - as instruments of learning, working with projections, enactments, transference, countertransference, social defences and the social unconscious as they manifest in real-time organisational settings.
