Peer Reviewer’s Report

Reviewers are asked to consider whether the work reviewed falls within the Journal’s aims and scope, defined as follows: 

Organisational and Social Dynamics is a peer-reviewed journal that explores the introduction of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy, and the wider application of psychoanalytic ideas.

O&SD aims to create a deeper understanding of organisational and social processes and their effects on individuals, and to provide a forum for both theoretical and applied papers addressing emerging issues in societies and organisations from a psycho-social perspective.

The editors seek to sustain a creative tension between scientific rigour and popular appeal, by developing conversations with the professional and social scientific worlds and opening them to practitioners and reflective citizens everywhere. 

The following questions are intended to assist in assessing the submission:
