Systems Psychodynamics and the Internet
I have been hoping to find some more bloggers on the topics of Systems Psychodynamics and the Internet. The latter is easy to find, the former more scant, and the two together seems like a needle in a haystack. Annette Clancy (from the emerald isle - no bias honestly) has just posted on her experience from the annual symposium of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations in Stolkholm which I found quite interesting.
Learning how systems and people coexist and interact is one of the most important things we can be studying as we pioneer into the future. Hopefully in this new era of discovery we can invent systems that work with us instead of some we end up working for.
Thank you Mark! We are currently in the process of forming an "Online Large Study Group" around the doctoral thesis of Dr. Haim Weinberg, entitled "Group Analysis, Large Groups, and the Internet Unconscious." Haim and others from the "systems psychodynamics" community will consult to the forum, which is slated for a March 2008 launch. I am also currently talking to Dr. Martin Walker (AKRI veteran) for the launch of an "Online Social Dreaming Matrix" for early next year. I invite others from your community, who have a strong interest in the juxtaposition of "Systems Psychodynamics" and the "Internet", to join us, as we further develop this new frontier.
Best regards,

Dear Annette,
I just happened to bump into this piece on the Internet. I am the individual who conceived of and implemented the first-ever group relations conference over the Internet. I'd love top share my work (which incidentally, is almost totally on the Internet) with others and get a discussion going.
Please check out my web site at www.orgdyne.com and let's find some time to discuss this further if you have some interest.
Kind regards,
Anil Behal
