Management and Organisational Dynamics

Overview

Drawing upon both critical management theory and the developing field of systems-psychodynamics, this innovative Management and Organisational Dynamics  course offered by the University of Essex  will be of particular interest to anyone who wishes to understand the complex processes that impact on change in organisations.

The integrated approach provides a deep analysis of the way organisations function, the nature of leadership and the way organisational structure and dynamics contribute to the operation of groups and systems.

A priority is given to experiential learning. We aim to foster a fresh take on what is involved in both leadership and followership in the contemporary context.

Topics include:

• The psychodynamics of groups and organisations
• Organisational behaviour
• Management psychology
• Group relations
• Psychoanalytic perspectives
• Leadership, culture and change

Your future

Our graduates go on to a number of different destinations, including further study and training in psychoanalysis, Jungian analysis, or psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Many of our students are already professionals, clinical and non-clinical, so return to their existing fields, either in jobs or further training, and use study with us to deepen their understanding of their work.
