Opis

Synthesizing psychoanalytic and group dynamic approaches to group life, this text offers practical guidelines. It advocates the simultaneous use of: the psychoanalytic perspective for observing the visible group of people and their interactions, and a General Systems Field Theory perspective for observing the invisible group-as-a-whole.
