The intricate dynamics that emerge within groups when authority is wielded hold immense significance in the realm of Group Relations Conferences. This volume delves into these critical aspects through a combination of research findings and speculative insights into the future of Group Relations, both within and beyond these conferences.

This sixth installment in a series of books originating from Tavistock Group Relations Conferences presents a compilation of papers presented at the sixth Belgirate conference. The chapters seamlessly blend theory and practice, offering a profound meditation on the interconnectedness between physical spaces, psychic realms, inner spiritual spaces, and the transitional liminal spaces that exist between them.

Group Relations serves as a valuable lens through which to comprehend the pervasive presence of inequality and intergroup hostilities in the modern world. It also provides a practical methodology for understanding how individuals, both consciously and unconsciously, contribute to these tensions, whether in personal contexts, within groups, or within organizations.

This book will be an indispensable resource for practitioners, academics, and scholars of Group Relations, as well as managers and organizational members seeking to explore how Group Relations methods can enhance their organizational success.
