Editor : Edward B. Klein, Editor : Ian L. Pritchard

Reviews and Endorsements

'The impact of globalization forces role-holders in systems, at some point in time, to reach their "limits of comprehension"...The phenomena of globalization, never before experienced by humanity, call upon insights and thoughts from imagination, the unknown, the unconscious mind and the infinite.

'Such a caesura, this book provides.

'This is a "must-have" book for every opinion-maker in contemporary systems and societies for its thought processes go well beyond the existing frames of knowledge and paradigms to offer a heuristic perspective for engaging with the problems, puzzles, conundrums and uncertainties that every system is bombarded with by the global phenomena.'
- Gordon Lawrence, Managing Partner, Social Dreaming Ltd

It belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in employing a systems psychodynamic perspective in a fast-changing world.'
