This paper identifies Group Relations as a method for studying groups and observing how people perform their roles in groups and systems. The method helps to distinguish between fantasy and reality; to judge between truth and the lie; to come to grips between projection and introjection, between transference and countertransference. The paper describes the features of Group Relations work including working with transference and counter-transference phenomena; skill in interpreting group unconscious dynamics; working within the boundaries of space and time as well as within psychological boundaries; being clear about working on roles and tasks; working with the group-as-a-whole, and being able to generate working hypotheses about groups and their organisational functioning.
Keywords: Tavistock; Group Relations; dynamics; unconscious; projection; introjection, transference; countertransference
