Journal of Managerial Psychology
Call for Papers for a Special Issue
Managing in a psychoanalytically informed manner
To be published in 2002
Guest Editor: Adrian Carr - University of Western Sydney
The Journal of Managerial Psychology is seeking original
contributions from academics, practitioners and consultants for a
special issue that explores the contribution psychoanalytic theory
can make to those charged with the responsibility of managing in work
organisations. Sigmund Freud and his followers have emphasized the
importance of unconscious and emotional factors in individual and
social life. This special issue is giving priority to those
contributors who will demonstrate how psychoanalytic theory gives us
a deeper understanding of the unconscious motivation and meaning of
behaviours and processes for in work organisation setting and how
this understanding is relevant to the everyday tasks of managers. In
emphasizing the relevance of such psychoanalytic theory to managers,
contributors are asked to address themselves to the more typical
behaviours and processes rather than the aberrant, deviant,
exceptional or pathological.
In addressing any issue relevant to managing in organisations,
contributors may choose to focus at the individual, group or
organizational level and draw their analysis from any of the
psychoanalytic schools of thought including Lacanian, Kleinian,
Jungian etc. In selecting manuscripts for inclusion in this special
issue, the guest editor will be attempting to display the broad
utility of psychoanalytic theory to a variety of management issues.
It is intended that this special issue of JMP will be Number 8 of
Volume17 (published in 2002) and the guest editor would like
submissions no later than December 14, 2001. Contributors should send
their manuscripts by email to Dr Adrian Carr at the following
