Not only is each person unique, but so is each of our interactions. Lionel Stapley, Ph.D., has devoted many years to the study of individual and group dynamics—the social-psychological processes that determine the behavior of individuals and members of small groups. In this book, he talks about the unconscious and often irrational reasons for the behavior that people exhibit in interpersonal relationships, as well as in groups and teams. They help to define your boundaries, build relationships in your family, circle of friends and work team.

“This idea may seem strange, but it is important to understand that there is no “just an individual person”. The truth is that from infancy we are part of a group.”

“There is an opinion that every child behaves like a writer when he plays. This means that he creates his own world, organizing things in the real world in a new order that gives him pleasure."
