ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book introduces the Inter-Group Exercise at the second conference which was held at Buxton in 1959. It considers the participants with opportunities to form their own groups for the purpose of deciding on a programme of special interest sessions which would occupy the second half of the timetable for the conference. The book aims to create a healthy pause where thinking and examining takes place. The interpretation has put people in touch with the here and now and releases certain phenomena that happen in the pause. The book explores a little-known set of boundaries, those between the members of a small group and the consultant. Reality is both inside and outside of him. Furthermore, it is his construction of the phenomena of reality that is to be investigated.
