A study of the functioning of small groups from the empirical perspective of analytical psychology. Case material is analyzed, focusing on the expansion of consciousness in the small group and the interrelated phenomenon of personal transformation. A matrix model, conceptualizing the small group as a dynamic structural system, frames the empirical studies in this book. These include the exploration of symbolic archetypal themes and the observation of influential members who play crucial roles in group transitions. The book describes a new methodology for studying the social grieving brought about at times of transition, and the small group personal transformations that occur as individuals work through episodic themes of individuation. It also shows how personal transformations are affected by behaviours evoked by the anima and animus. Each chapter contains case materials and a review of the relevant literature. These studies in the field reflect more than twenty years of research. The different ways put forward of analyzing small group dynamics have practical implications for group leaders, and the methodologies described in the book can serve as both a model for research and as a source of research tools.
