Abstract

The nature and consequences of conflicts between roles and the persons who occupy them are explored. Two case studies focus on systems in which such conflicts were salient: a program for the education of gifted children and a private psychiatric hospital. The public, private, and unconscious dimensions of various roles within each system are examined, as are the resultant role relations in each setting. The importance of the interface between and among the different dimensions of roles within organizations is emphasized.
