The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy

Learning for Leadership.@@@Personal and Organizational Change Through Group Methods: The Laboratory Approach.

Controlled studies of the outcome of sensitivity training.

The research on group composition for psychotherapeutic and growthoriented groups is reviewed and analyzed. The survey of the literature consists of a sampling of clinical observations and reports and a review of premature termination studies, group-therapy process studies, and laboratory group research. The social microcosm, dissonance, cohesion, and supportplus-confrontation models of group composition are presented and evaluated. Lastly, the findings and their implications for the composition of groups are discussed.
