It takes up what might be experienced as overly abstract ideas, such as "culture", "system", and "matrix", and makes them real in the context of actual methods and practices. Susan Long and Maurita Harney's introductory essay, linking socioanalysis to Pierces' theory of abduction, is a masterstroke. It grounds socioanalysis in a philosophic tradition and demonstrates how socioanalysis, in the spirit of abduction, stimulates moments of discovery and surprise for client, consultant and researcher.
Surprise, as abduction makes clear, is the beginning of discovery. The essays that follow on the use of drawings and photos, on social dreaming, on the salience of reflective spaces, on organizational role analysis and on other methods, all demonstrate how the scholar practitioner can stimulate discovery through the judicious use of practical methods. This book has surprises for the experienced practitioner as well as those just entering the field.
And, because the methods explore social systems, they can contribute to new collaborative endeavours for thinking the future. It grounds socioanalysis in a philosophic tradition and demonstrates how socioanalysis, in the spirit of abduction, stimulates moments of discovery and surprise for client, consultant and researcher.

This book has surprises for the experienced practitioner as well as those just entering the field. I recommend it highly. The depth and range of explorations of the "associative" social unconscious, the analysis of work culture using reflective space, and specific methods and tools including the distinctiveness of socioanalytic interviewing and social dreaming, listening posts, conferences, and understanding specific "country romances" socioanalytically , can help address national problems. By providing a palette of lenses, the reader is invited to explore, discover and find meaning and insight into dynamics and behaviours that otherwise remain out of awareness.
