More often, it emerges gradually through distorted incentives, identity fusion with professional roles, and authority systems that lose the capacity for reflexive correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOccupational Psychosis II: Institutional Failure Modes\u003c\/em\u003e examines the structural and cultural conditions that allow organizations-particularly those built around care, leadership, and public trust-to drift away from their stated missions. Rather than locating dysfunction in individual actors, the volume analyzes how institutional environments can normalize distorted perception, suppress dissent, and reward conformity to narratives that obscure harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on interdisciplinary scholarship across sociology, organizational behavior, leadership studies, and institutional governance, this volume maps the recurring patterns through which occupational systems begin to malfunction. It explores how professional identity, authority structures, performance metrics, and moral legitimacy can combine in ways that impair reality-testing and ethical accountability within organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book identifies common institutional failure modes across a wide range of sectors, including corporate environments, nonprofit organizations, credentialed professions, public institutions, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and emerging professional fields. Particular attention is given to how systems oriented toward care, support, or leadership development can become vulnerable to ethical drift when reflexive constraints and corrective feedback mechanisms weaken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the second volume in the \u003cem\u003eOccupational Psychosis\u003c\/em\u003e series, this work extends the foundational definition introduced in Volume I by examining how systemic distortion manifests in institutional practice. The analysis offers readers a deeper understanding of how organizations that intend to serve, heal, guide, or lead can gradually lose alignment with reality-and why recognizing these patterns is essential for restoring institutional integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Lee Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798994127209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Occupational Wellness Institute(tm) Publishin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Georgia Lee Arts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483417620735,"sku":"9798994127209","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e47d92e-5f8d-417e-9ece-f640c1df5977.jpg?v=1778038647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/occupational-psychosis-ii-georgia-lee-arts-9798994127209","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
