ABSTRACT
Observing Organisations presents a unique approach derived from direct participant observation of small units within institutions, all in the health and social services sector.
A range of contributors bring together the results of their own observational projects to show how they were able to come to a psychoanalytically informed understanding of the cultures that arise within healthcare organisations, and how this understanding can be used to overcome difficulties that arise.
