Description
This important, pioneering book collates our knowledge of large groups, both at a theoretical and practical level. Thirteen distinguished contributors offer experiences from a wide range of disciplines and settings. Roughly half the chapters are psychoanalytic in their orientation; other contributions derive from general psychiatry, sociology, anthropology and industrial psychology.The place of large-group therapy is still to be defined, but it is hoped that this book will contribute to the careful and detailed assessment that is necessary to fulfill its evaluation.

All those who have worked with large groups acknowledge the fascination and power that they hold, and most agree that they present a new dimension to our understanding of group dynamics.This important, pioneering book collates our knowledge of large groups, both at a theoretical and practical level.
