Harold Bridger stands as one of the most influential yet understated figures in the history of organisational psychology — a pioneer whose work at the Tavistock Institute helped shape how the modern world understands the relationship between people and the institutions they inhabit. Working with Organisations is a festschrift compiled to honour Bridger's 80th birthday, gathering papers from colleagues, collaborators, and intellectual heirs who chronicle his profound impact on the fields of group dynamics, organisational development, and applied social science. The collection presents a rich tapestry of theory and practice, illustrating how Bridger's foundational thinking — rooted in psychoanalytic insight and systems thinking — continues to resonate across disciplines. Edited by Lisl Klein, herself a distinguished figure in the study of work and organisations, this volume argues for the enduring relevance of the Tavistock tradition in an era of rapid organisational change. Each contributed paper reflects a facet of Bridger's intellectual legacy, from therapeutic communities to open systems theory, offering both a tribute and a substantive body of knowledge. For anyone seeking to understand how human relationships shape institutional life, this collection raises questions that remain compellingly unanswered.
