| Being and Belonging: Group, Intergroup and Gestalt by Gaie Houston Paperback, 234 pages
| The ways in which people struggle to establish a sense of belonging and connectedness, yet also need
to preserve their individuality and separateness, has long fascinated psychologists, therapists and group-workers. This treatise brings new insights to this fundamental issue and examines the ways in which different theoretical interpretations of group processes may be integrated. The author provides an account of the ways in which the issue of relatedness is explored during a fictional residential group experience. The participants talk for themselves but also represent a range of
theoretical perspectives. By means of this dialogue, and the author's commentary, the reader is guided through a series of issues involved in group participation. |
