About the Journal
Socioanalysis is an international journal about groups, organisations and society from the systems psychodynamic perspective.
Socioanalytic theory and practice studies conscious and unconscious dynamics in groups, organisations and society. The emotional experience of people in their roles is fundamental to socioanalytic perspectives. Group Relations is a theoretical and practical stance towards discovering group, inter-group and institutional dynamics. It relies on systems and psychodynamic thinking and practice and uses data from the here-and-now experience of participants and staff in group relations conferences. Systems psychodynamics originates in the fields of systems thinking, group relations theory and psychoanalysis. This approach is an in-depth way to gain an understanding of why certain dynamics, processes and structures exist within groups and society. Examples include racism, sexism, bullying and corruption. Dynamics include power, authority and accountability, to name a few.
The journal is of interest to those practising, studying or simply interested in leadership, group dynamics, management, unconscious processes in organisations and society, ethical dynamics in organisations, organisational consultancy processes and methodological approaches to group and organisational research. Managers, board members, social scientists and academics alike will find the journal provides insights that can be applied to their work.
The journal is double-blind peer reviewed.
