Synopsis

Unlock the science behind how people work together in groups and communities.

This book traces the origins of group dynamics and shows how groups form, learn, lead, and solve problems. You’ll discover how individual behavior and group forces shape communication, leadership, conflict, and cooperation in education, industry, community life, and politics.

Structured in five parts, the text blends theory with practical applications. It explains how groups stay cohesive yet experience tension, how learning happens in group settings, and how the person fits into the dynamic whole. Readers gain a clear map of group processes, from intergroup relations to group psychotherapy, and see how theory translates into real-world outcomes.

• Foundations: what makes a group and how dynamics develop over time
• Dynamics in action: leadership, learning, and problem-solving in groups
• Applications: education, industry, community relations, and political behavior
• Focus on the person: how individual behavior relates to group forces

Ideal for students, educators, and professionals who want a grounded, accessible guide to how groups work and how to influence their outcomes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Group Dynamics: Principles and Applications

This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the dynamics of small - group behavior. It is designed as a textbook for college students and for professional reading by psychologists, social scientists, teachers, and personnel managers.

As the subtitle indicates, we are concerned with both theory and empirical example. Accordingly, we offer first a systematic presentation of those aspects of group behavior which have come to comprise the central subject matter of group dynamics; namely group structure, group cohesiveness, intergroup tensions, group learning, group problem - solving, and group leadership. Having laid down this theoretical framework, we then trace its important emergent applications to the vital areas of industry, community relations, political behavior, group psychotherapy, and education. Although the applications of group dynamics to education have received much attention in the past decade, writers in the field of group dynamics have not made an explicit and systematic analysis of these other areas. Of particular interest here is the subject of group psychotherapy and personality dynamics - topics of especial importance to an understanding of the formation and enhancement of groups, group tensions and conflicts, mutual dependence, group change, and the ebb and flow of the interpersonal process.

The book is divided into five parts.
