David Armstrong

Tavistock Clinic Consultancy Service

The paper reviews and reflects on the development of a psychoanalytic approach to understanding institutions. It traces the origins of such an approach from the early work of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations after the Second World War; comments on the resistances such an approach has aroused, both internal and external; and suggests grounds for optimism regarding its future.
