Early Struggles in the Life of a Group
Question: Does the individual exist for the group, or does the group exist to support the individual?
• This bi-polar position fades only when members accept themselves as an entity capable of acting on behalf of its members,
AND• When the group accepts the importance of its
individual members

Wilfred Bion (1961) found struggle and conflict at both the conscious and unconscious levels of group life. He describe groups as having three basic emotional states:
Dependency (leader)
Fight-flightPairing

Aspects of Collective Life in a Group
One of the outcomes of the ambivalence that individuals experience
upon joining a new group is reflected in ”holding
back” until the lay of the land is clear
The group can be thought of as a social entity
capable of acting as a whole and expressing
feelings and thoughts over and beyond those of its
members
