The results provide fascinating, powerful and thought-provoking insights into processes of social, clinical and organisational psychology.The programmes cover a range of issues that help to understand the ways that people interact, groups behave and organisations function. They offer vivid, powerful and dramatic examples that bring alive topics such leadership and negotiation, conflict and co-operation, work satisfaction and stress, tyranny and resistance, power and powerlessness, research, methodology and social scientific theory.
