Tiivistelmä:This article argues that unconscious dynamics have a significant impact on life in organizations (hereafter as: org./orgs). To support the argument, the salient aspects of the clinical paradigm are introduced, motivational need systems are explored, and observations are made about the role of core conflictual relationship themes in understanding behaviour. The psychodynamics of leadership are discussed, incl. the role of narcissism, transferential patterns, and the Monte Cristo complex. The concept of social defenses is introduced. This is followed by describing the characteristics of neurotic orgs., with identification of five 'ideal' types: the dramatic/cyclothymic, suspicious, compulsive, detached and depressive orgs. Subsequently, the benefits of the clinical approach to organizational consultation and intervention are explored. Finally, a plea is made for the creation of 'authentizotic' orgs.
