ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with feelings that critically determine the dynamic of a group process: feelings of aggression. The term 'aggression' may conjure up images of loud screaming; physical attacks, threats, and so on. Just as damaging to the social climate are those hidden feelings of aggression that cannot be recognised at first, and maybe not even at second sight. The biggest problem in controversial conversations is the fact that the conversational partners concerned do not listen properly to each other. In such cases, an argument report can be very useful. Immediately after or during an unexpected argument, all conversational participants sit around a table. In a partner game, two players reproduce the rhythmical quality, the tone colour and the volume of such a hate tirade, but without speaking. In other words, the argument melody is translated into a melody made up of humming, grunting and deep throat sounds, in corresponding variable pitch.
