The Social Engagement of Social Science, a Tavistock Anthology, Volume 3 : The Socio-Ecological Perspective PDF
Edited by Eric Trist, Hugh Murray, Beulah Trist
Description
World War II brought together a group of psychiatrists and clinical and social psychologists in the British Army who developed a number of radical, action-oriented organizational innovations in social psychiatry.
They became known as the "Tavistock Group," since the core members had been at the pre-war Tavistock Clinic.
At the post-war Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, they developed a pioneering mode of relating theory and practice, called in these volumes "The Social Engagement of Social Science." Previous volumes presented two of three interdependent perspectives: the socio-psychological (Volume I, 1990) and the socio-technical (Volume II, 1993).
The latest volume, on the socio-ecological perspective, completes the set. The socio-ecological perspective is concerned with the coevolution of systems and their environments.
It considers the broader environment which shapes not only the task environments of socio-technical organizations but the institutional and cultural environment that confronts the individual. Volume III focuses on nonhierarchical forms of organization facilitating inter-organizational relations in complex and rapidly changing environments.
This perspective provides a guide to institution building for the future.
