- Abstract
Mind the Gap The 'In-between Table' as a tool for collaborating on complex issues : Public Administration as an academic study makes use of many disciplines, but there is usually a lack of explicit attention to the emotional and unconscious dynamics that develop during collaborative work on social issues. This essay contributes to and focuses on the nature of intergroup dynamics whilst working on complex issues and specifically how a systems-psychodynamic perspective is helpful in understanding and dealing with conflict and discomfort inherent in working across boundaries. Concepts about conscious and unconscious 'in-between' dynamics are introduced and applied. From there, the Tussentafel ('in-between table'), a new bounded space, is presented: a tool for working with uncertainties and tensions in complex issues. The Tussentafel offers a transitional space where difference (the gap) is being recognised, embraced and reflected upon (mindful), as a basis for developing a new perspective.
