Extract

Dr. Rickman, in his address to-day, has raised the whole range of problems concerning the dynamics of groups. I think he has rightly drawn attention to the fact that “three-body” problems with which psychoanalysts are accustomed to deal form only part of the dynamics of a “multi-body,” a group, and that a fuller understanding of the dynamics of a multi-body is bound to influence our therapeutic technique.
