Join these monthly, small group, Reading Seminars based on Mannie Sher and David Lawlors new book: An Introduction to Systems Psychodynamics: Consultancy, Research & Training. A unique opportunity to study the fundamental concepts of systems psychodynamics with the authors of this comprehensive new text.

Each seminar builds upon the previous one and the whole series will provide you with a practical overview of Systems Psychodynamics including Open Systems Theory; Psychoanalytic thinking; Group Dynamics and Socio-Technical Systems. Each seminar will begin with a Social Dreaming Matrix.

Learning outcomes could include: 

  • Greater familiarity with group, organisational and systems concepts.
  • Concepts that are useful in taking up one’s roles in the organisation.
  • Help in unravelling complex problems in organisations.
  • Reflections on improving leadership capability.
  • Leadership Development of others.

The seminars are held in-person in the lounge at the Tavistock Institute, with refreshments, on the 3rd floor, 63 Gee Street, EC1V 3RS or online via Zoom. Participants can choose how they attend each seminar on the day. 

Seminars will run for 2 hours - 17:30 - 19:30 UK time. The fee is £545.

Our next set of seminars are nearly full. Please contact Megan Davies, Professional Development Programmes Manager, if you would like to join our waiting list or for more information.
