ABSTRACT
If one looks at a psychological disturbance principally as located, taking place, in between persons, it follows that it can never be wholly confined to a person in isolation. In a group-analytic situation disturbances can be traced in their ramifications. The total configuration then puts a different emphasis on the disturbance as manifested in any individual concerned. The location of a disturbance is related to the definition of symptoms, in operational, dynamic, terms and accompanies continuously the group-analytic process. Implicitly many examples have been given. This is a new concept in the sense in which it is here used. The group's own difficulties in welcoming and receiving newcomers are then discussed, and the difficult situation in which the newcomer must find himself, is represented to the group. The whole group's conflicting attitudes towards money, business men, working for one's living or living for one's work, became manifest, with their male and female counterpoints.
