A study of the larger group, focusing on the processes and dynamics
whereby the group micro-culture emerges. As the initial
frustrations of the group find expression in hate, this is
transformed through dialogue to what the Greeks knew as 'koinonia',
or the state of impersonal fellowship. Essentially, Koinonia
concerns itself with an operational approach to dialogue, culture
and the human mind through the medium of a larger group context,
and adopts a direction similar in many ways to the groupanalytic
method of S. H. Foulkes. In attempting to link the most intimate
aspect of individual beings naturally and spontaneously in the
socio-cultural setting of the larger group, by the very nature of
its size, offers a structure or medium for linking inner world with
cultural context, and is thus able to establish a unique dimension
- that of the micro-culture. Until now neither psychoanalysis nor
small groups have been able to handle this aspect empirically,
since, in the former, the analyst represents the assumed culture,
while in the small group situation the hierarchy of the family
culture inevitably prevails. The larger group displays the other
side of the coin to the inner world, namely the socio-cultural
dimension in which interpersonal relationships take place. The
exploration of this field shows how objects, including part objects
of the mind, can be related to systems and structures in a manner
not previously attempted, and raises the vexed question of the
relationship of systems to structures and of culture to social
context. In this study of the larger group, particular attention is
paid to the processes and dynamics whereby the group micro-culture
emerges, as the initial frustrations of the group find their
expression through hate; as hate initiates, and is transformed by,
dialogue; and as dialogue ultimately establishes what the Greeks
knew as 'koinonia', or the state of impersonal fellowship.
