Human relations in modern industry

This book outlines, in simple non-technical language, a psychia trist's contribution to the problems of satisfactions at work, individual and group behaviour under stress, leadership and training, leisure, absenteeism, etc., which are the daily concern of industrialists and personnel managers. The author bases his remarks on long experi ence of conducting group discus sions in these subjects; and his aim is to stimulate the reader to think for himself, rather than to offer any cast-iron conclusions.

This book was first published in 1949, and has been used as a text book on many management courses. The new edition has been largely rewritten and expanded throughout with new material. It also pro vides examples and different methods of teaching, which could well be used in practice. author is Physician to the Dept. of The Psychological Medicine, University College Hospital; he was previously Psychiatrist to the Maudsley Hos pital, Regional Psychiatrist to the S.E. Metropolitan Regional Hos pital Board, and Boots Lecturer in Industrial Health at Roffey Park.
