What Happens in Groups: Psychoanalysis, the Individual and the Community by R. D. Hinshelwood

by R.D. Hinshelwood

Group processes are often surprising, bewildering, impenetrable. The author works systematically through the psychoanalytic concepts which bear on what happens in groups. His examples are drawn from many years of experience in therapeutic communities, but are relevant to any sort of group. Author of the highly-praised Dictionary of Kleinian Thought, Hinshelwood draws on the ideas of Jacques, Bion and Menzies Lyth.
