Books Larry Hirschhorn. The Workplace Within: Psychodynamics of Organizational Life (MIT Press, 1988)
An excellent book, combining valuable theoretical insights and practical experiences. Useful for the reflective practitioner, while remaining clear and accessible for those unfamiliar with this way of looking at working life. If you only read one of his books, read this one. A classic.
