Description
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the 1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social sciences.
This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of those important works which have since gone out of print, or are difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total are being brought together under the name The International Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the Tavistock Press.
Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was originally published in 1968 and is available individually. The collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.

Psychology concerns the scientific study of behaviour and experience. This set presents an excellent overview of this vast field and incorporates texts on psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Authors who wrote for the Tavistock Press, and whose works are reprinted here, include Melanie Klein, one of the most influential Psychoanalysts of the last century, and Wilfred Bion whose revolutionary research has been fundamental to the science of group dynamics.
