Drawing below the surface: eliciting tacit knowledge in social science researchReviewsCarlos Sapochnik's book is a real gift and was very much needed. I have rarely found such a thorough and innovative text on Group Relations Conferences, as 'a learning device' about 'inside' and 'outside' groups and organisations, and on group life in general. The psychoanalytical and the systems theory are brilliantly integrated with the practitioner's real and emotional experience. This work provides an excellent example of the hermeneutic tradition of questioning and interpreting meanings in search of truth, not as a 'principle', but as an 'inter-subjective collaborative enterprise. - Louisa Diana Brunner, Leadership Consultant and Executive Coach, Independent Researcher, Group Relations Conferences Staff and Director This is an exhilarating and complex book that vividly reminds me of the pleasure and stimulation of working with Carlos Sapochnik in many conferences. It combines scholarship with the invitation to think and play, proposing that creativity is not a quality of the gifted but intrinsic to human nature. The book contains intriguing ideas for the reader to engage in the spirit of open minded enquiry. Above all, we are invited to explore the immense contribution that the application of psychoanalytic thinking can make to contemporary discourses. - Julian Lousada, Psychoanalyst and Organizational Consultant Carlos Sapochnik has made an important and perceptive addition to the literature on group relations. This book is a distinctive interrogation of the author's lived experience of group relations as an approach to personal and systemic learning. The author questions and critiques this method as a way of enhancing our understanding and enjoyment of it. He provides the reader with insightful conclusions about group relations as a learning process; and offers important 'meditations' on power, corruption, aggression and creativity within systems of learning and organizing. - Russ Vince, Professor of Leadership and Change, School of Management, University of Bath, UK Author InformationCarlos Sapochnik, MA(RCA) MA PhD FCSD FISTD FHEA, is a London-based graphic designer, artist, teacher, researcher, and organisational consultant trained at the Royal College of Art and the Tavistock Clinic, active in group relations in the UK and abroad, having directed conferences at the British Association of Psychotherapists, the British Psychotherapy Foundation, and the Tavistock Centre.
