Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In print for over twenty years, this classic work takes a wide-ranging overview of the major psychoanalytic theorists and organizational researchers and ends with the writer's own idea about how the two groups work together. Written in plain English, it nevertheless gets across some sophisticated concepts. A valuable read for managers, behavioural scientists, psychoanalysts and counsellors, and interesting for the general reader too.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
