Abstract
This chapter brings together the work of Eric Fromm, Raymond Williams and Hans Loewald with perspectives from more recent psychosocial and object-relational approaches (in particular, the work of Nancy Chodorow, Jessica Benjamin and Lynne Layton). It draws attention to Williams’ concept of a ‘structure of feeling’, his ideas of creativity and that new forms can flow from any particular place and extend to the whole organisation. These perspectives are also useful in the study of changing feelings of gender. Feelings are understood as personal and embodied meaning, created and continuously reconstructed in relationships with others, and socially patterned through the historical and social context of relational experience. Time, class, gender and generation leave their mark on feelings of gender as well as on psychoanalytic theories about them.
