An Introduction to Using a Systems Psychodynamics Approach in Coaching

Systems psychodynamics is a branch of organizational psychology that examines the formal and informal roles employees take up in an organization to understand covert dynamics within a group and organization. This approach is based on open systems theory and group relations and uses BART, which stands for boundaries, authority, role, and task. BART is used to help clients better understand how unspoken assumptions, beliefs, and internal psychological experiences influence their workplace behavior. This session will include an introduction to systems psychodynamics coaching and an experiential activity that uses imagery and metaphor to understand implicit and explicit roles and non-conscious work experiences.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Increased understanding of Systems Psychodynamics: Gain a thorough grasp of Systems Psychodynamics, a branch of organizational psychology focusing on formal and informal roles within a system or organization,
    shedding light on covert dynamics.
  2. Application of Open Systems Theory and Group Relations into Coaching: Understand and apply the foundational principles of open systems theory and group relations, allowing for a deeper comprehension of organizational behavior and interactions.
  3. Proficiency in BART Framework: Learn the BART framework (Boundaries, Authority, Role, and Task) and its role in decoding organizational dynamics.
  4. Insight into Non-Conscious Influences on Workplace Behavior: Develop an awareness of how non-conscious forces significantly impact workplace behavior, enabling a more profound understanding of individual and collective actions within the organizational context.
