Key Concepts
1. Inner Theatre
The concept of the “inner theatre” is essential in the psychodynamic approach. It considers the space of life as the stage where a lot of people get various experiences, giving good or bad influences to each other. People’s reactions towards others come from their learning that they experience with a person who take care of them in childhood. This paradigm is close to the fourth premises of the clinical paradigm (Northouse, 2015, p. 301-302).

Three main assumptions about dependency, fight-flight, and paring were described by the psychiatrist Wilfred Bion. These assumptions happens in the unconscious.

This groups regard leaders as almighty, and they consequentially are willing to follow leaders. This group is united and goal-oriented, and followers in these groups don’t have critical opinion. People who work in dangerous organizational circumstances are assumed employ fight or flight as a defense mechanism. The assumption groups tend to be divided into two camps of enemy and friendly forces. People with fight reaction show absenteeism, resignation, evasion and, especially, aggression against themselves, fellows and authority. They want to protect and conquer the foe. Some leaders force their subordinates to make more angry and violent against actual or imaginary enemies, using the fight-flight assumption. Subordinates feel unity instead of loss and gradually rely on their leader through this enforcement. The third assumption about the pairing is that people will be able to deal with worry, tension and isolation if they think they make a pair with a powerful person or the other group. The problem of pairing is division and conflict from inside of the group and resistance against authority (Northaouse, 2015, …show more content…
People said that the mother’s face is the first mirror for a baby. In light of that point, the process of mirroring of our behavior continues to be affected from people’s daily life and relationships with other people (Northouse, 2015, p. 303). Idealizing is a process of dealing with emotions that people get an impotent. They imagine other people significant to them as being better than they really are. Especially, people tend to idealize their parents or people who take care of them in childhood, and they want to fight with powerlessness to gain their own power. Mirroring and idealizing in organizations increase speed of a process that people regard a leader in the real world as important people like a parent or a person who have authority (Kets de Vries, Dysfunctional,
