ABSTRACT
The group situation at any given moment can be understood in terms of forces in equilibrium, and the group's movement within the session can be seen as successive shifts in equilibrium. Every session of every group differs in the details of its movement. In response, Ronald suggests a solution which shifts the equilibrium toward the possibility of expressing the disturbing motive. The group is in a different state with reference to the group focal conflict at each successive point of the session. Every session of every group differs in the details of its movement. The group then talked about trust and sincerity and wondered whether one could really trust others. The group tries to deal with the solutional conflict by putting pressure on Arnold to change. The group can neither get Arnold to change his position and allow the group to solve the original focal conflict, nor can it relieve the added tension generated by the solutional conflict.
