World War II brought together a group of psychiatrists and clinical and social psychologists in the British Army where they developed radical, action-oriented innovations in social psychiatry. They became known as the "Tavistock Group" since the core members had been at the pre-war Tavistock Clinic. They created the post-war Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and expanded on their wartime achievements by pioneering a new mode of relating theory and practice, called in these volumes, "The Social Engagement of Social Science." There are three perspectives: the socio-psychological, the socio-technical, and the socio-ecological. These perspectives are interdependent, yet each has its own focus and is represented in a separate volume. Volume I, The Socio-Psychological Perspective, extends the object-relations approach in psychoanalysis to group, organizational, and wider social life. This extension is related to field theory, the personality/culture approach, and open systems theory. Action-oriented papers deal with key ideas in social psychiatry, varieties of group process, new paths in family studies, the dynamics of organizational change, and the unconscious in culture and society. The Institute's dynamic social science approach to industrial problems, which will be presented in Volume II, began with Eric Trist's coal-mining program for the development of more productive and personally satisfying self-regulating forms of work organization. The whole "Quality of Working Life" movement owes its theoretical and empirical basis to this pathfinding endeavor. Volume III will focus on non-hierarchical forms of organization facilitating inter-organizational relations in complex and rapidly changing environments—the socio-ecological perspective. This perspective is offered as a guide to institution building for the future.

Ever wondered how the Catholic Church differs from other Christian Churches? Maybe you grew up Catholic but it's time for a refresher. Perhaps you're considering becoming a Catholic. Or maybe you just want to understand what your Catholic friends believe. This book will change how you think about Catholicism and give you the tools to answer questions your non-Catholic friends have about your religion. You'll deepen your understanding of your own faith as well as be able to help others gain an appreciation of your views. From the history of the Catholic Church to modern day beliefs of Catholics, Hugh Murray breaks down the most important aspects into understandable segments in a friendly, non-argumentative way. Packed with conversational, easy-to-read information about: The history of the Catholic Church and two big historic splits Mass and the sacraments The special roles of Mary and the saints Catholic views on purgatory, grace, faith, and good works The Pope, cardinals, monsignors, and other Catholic titles And more... In this book, Hugh Murray - a lifelong Catholic and active member of Jesuit discussion groups - helps you become more knowledgeable about the Catholic faith. Understanding Catholicism comes from the perspective of one who has spent more than 50 years examining Catholic theology and providing his analysis to non-Catholic Christians. As a Catholic, you'll relearn what you may have forgotten, and will deepen and renew your faith by pondering the topics presented. As a non-Catholic, you will better understand Catholic views and get answers to your questions about this large Christian denomination. You'll enjoy reading this book yourself, and it's also the perfect book to share with your non-Catholic friends, fallen away Catholics, and even practicing Catholics who want a deeper understanding of their faith. Interview with the Author Who do you hope will benefit from your book? I originally wrote this book for non-Catholic Christians, but I realized that my Catholic friends were also interested in these topics, either as a refresher or to fill in gaps in their own understanding. I've had Catholics read my book and tell me they learned things they never knew - even people who have been through the Catholic educational system. In what ways will a current Catholic benefit? People are always asking things like: Why do Catholics genuflect when they enter a church? What is the purpose of a rosary? Why do Catholics go to confession? It can be hard to come up with the answer quickly and explain it in an understandable way. Reading my book will clarify these answers so Catholics are prepared to respond knowledgeably. In what ways will a non-Catholic benefit? Understanding Catholicism will inform people of other faiths about basic Catholic beliefs, history, and rich traditions, as well as insight into how the Catholic Church fits in with today's society. How is your book different from others about the Catholic faith? It's a conversational guide designed so that readers can easily refer back to it again and again. It provides overviews with just the right amount of information and includes resource recommendations for exploring specific topics in more depth. What gave you the idea to write this book? I frequently visit Catholic patients in hospitals to distribute Holy Communion while they are unable to attend Mass. Over the years, I realized that non-Catholic friends and family of the hospitalized person were curious about the faith. I began distributing this book in essay form to interested visitors during my hospital calls. Recognizing that people across the country shared a similar interest in the topic, I decided to publish it as a book so that more people could learn about and understand Catholicism.
