EMAIL FORUMS AND EGROUPS OF INTEREST TO KLEINIANS
The forums and egroups listed below are drawn from a longer document containing information about these and other forums and egroups and about finding things on the web.
MELANIE KLEIN AND
KLEINIANISM eGroup
This egroup is devoted to
Klein, Bion and others influenced by her, as well as, Fairbairn, Winnicott and
more general issues in the object relations tradition.
One of the aims on this eGroup is that people should draw others’ attention to
new publications and offer comments on and reviews of them. Subscription and
comments by people critical of Kleinian ideas are welcome, as long as they are
put in a civil and constructive way, but the main aim is to foster discussion
among essentially people sympathetic to Kleinian ideas.The
egroup is also associated with the ejournal Kleinian Studies, the web site of
which is at the human-nature.com web site: http://www.human-nature.com
To join the eGroup, send an e-mail with no message to kleinians-subscribe@egroups.com The eGroup's messages, calendar, document vault, and more are available on the
web at http://www.egroups.com/group/kleinians/

GROUP
RELATIONS eGroup
The Group Relations
tradition inspired by W. R. Bion’s _Experiences in Groups_ and developed at the Tavistock Centre and elsewhere by, e.g.,
A. K. Rice, Pierre Turquet, Gordon Lawrence, Eric Miller, David Armstrong and
others, has led to the regular group relations conferences throughout the world
and has been very influential in the study of groups and institutions. It also
plays an important role in organizational consultancy. This forum is designed to
foster discussion and to provide a congenial place for writings in this
tradition to be available on the web.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE PSYCHOANALYTIC UNDERSTANDING OF
ORGANIZATIONS (ISPSO) email forum
ISPSO is the mailing list (email forum) for the International
Society for the Psychoanalytic
Study of Organizations. Its purpose is to foster communication among managers, consultants, and academics interested
in the psychodynamics of organizations. Questions about the list, or suggestions for its development, should be addressed to Howard Schwartz Schwartz@ Schwartz@oakland.edu. Any interested person may subscribe.
There is an extensive archive of papers (many of which are
Kleinian) given at successive annual conferences, along with news and events,
list of members, photos, etc. http://www.sba.oakland.edu/ispso
OBJECT RELATIONS IN PSYCHOANALYSIS eGroup
The inspiration
for this egroup is an interest in Klein, Post-Kleinians, Winnicott, Fairbairn,
Guntrip and other and more recent writers in the object relations tradition
within psychoanalysis. There is an existing list on Bion and there is an object
relations web site, but was formerly no forum, egroup or web site specifically
dedicated to this particular stratum of psychoanalytic theory. This egroup and
its associated web site are designed to fill this void.
Any topic within
the broad domain mentioned above is welcome. So are interventions aimed at
mounting critiques of this tradition, broadly conceived. However, civility must
be the norm. In addition to theoretical and clinical issues, we are particularly
interested in encouraging applications to the object relations tradition to
literature, film and other aspects of culture and cultural studies. Submissions
for essays for consideration for the web site should be sent to either of the
forum moderators.

PSYCHOANALYSIS
AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE/FREE ASSOCIATIONS email forum
For
discussion of wider social, cultural, philosophical, political, ideological,
institutional and related aspects of psychoanalysis and other psychodynamic
approaches. (This is not to exclude the clinical but to frame clinical matters
contextually.) Matters of concern to the profession, including funding,
efficacy, and critiques are also welcome fare, as is any psychodynamically-related
topic. This forum grew out of an annual conference sponsored by the Department
of Human Relations, University of East London; the quarterly journal, _Free
Associations: Psychoanalysis, Groups, Politics, Culture_, and the Human Nature
Trust (a charity which supports psychoanalytic publishing, teaching and
conferences). The forum was originally designed to reflect the concerns of the
annual conference (now in suspension) and to give them an ongoing presence.
These
web sites form part of a larger project with an extensive web site and several
email forums which are designed to bring together various disciplines concerned
with the understanding of human nature

HUMAN
RELATIONS, AUTHORITY AND JUSTICE: EXPERIENCES
AND CRITIQUES email forum
Experiences
and Critiques, is an open, unmoderated forum designed to encourage the
application of psychoanalytic and related psychodynamic approaches to the
understanding of group, institutional, cultural and political processes.
The forum is related to an electronic journal of the same name based at http://www.psychoanalysis-and-therapy.com/human_nature/HRAJ/home.html.
Most
of those who are working on this project are based in London, England and work
in the helping professions, organizational consultancy and group relations,
while some work with ethnic minorities, crisis
intervention, sexual abuse and other applied spheres. What brings them together
is in the conviction that primitive, unconscious, irrational processes play a much larger part in human relations than is usually supposed and that unless full account can be taken of these processes and
unless ways can be found to understand and contain them the individual to international relations.
In
particular, the group has made extensive use of the approaches to human
relations developed by Wilfred Bion and others at the Tavistock Institute of
Human Relations, summarised in his _Experiences In Groups_ (London: Tavistock,
1961) and the tradition of group relations and organizational consultancy which
has followed on from that work in the Tavistock and elsewhere, in particular, in
group relations conferences at Leicester and elsewhere, e.g., America, Israel,
Germany, Australia, India. Other approaches, both psychoanalytic and systemic,
are also drawn upon, in particular, on the normal role of psychotic anxieties in
contributing to problems in groups and institutions. Group relations events were held in Sofia in 1992 and 1996, and there was
a founding conference of the project in 1995.
