How to Manage Feelings and Emotions in a Pandemic? The Importance of Affective Containment
Fraser, Rachael; Hordern, Jim
Management in Education, v37 n3 p154-156 Jul 2023
In this short reflective piece, we first outline how feelings and emotions (or 'affections') are understood in psychodynamic approaches, and briefly discuss how these may be controlled or 'contained' in organisational contexts. We then reflect on the recent experiences of one of us (Rachael) as a school leader seeking to contain feelings and emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
