The theoretical propositions of analytical psychology are difficult to verify and usually rest on the empirical evidence of reported case material. In this book, Robert D. Boyd and his colleagues break new ground by subjecting case material to a rigorous analysis in their report of a research programme which has focused on the expansion of consciousness in the small group and the interrelated phenomenon of personal transformation.A matrix model, conceptualizing the small group as a dynamic structural system, frames the empirical studies in the book. These include the exploration of symbolic archetypal themes and the observation of influential members who play crucial roles in group transitions. The book describes a new methodology for studying the social grieving brought about at times of transition, and the small group personal transformations that occur as individuals work through episodic themes of individuation. It also shows how personal transformations are affected by behaviours evoked by the anima and animus. Each chapter contains case materials and an extensive review of the relevant literature.These are pioneer studies in the field, reflecting more than twenty years of research. The different ways put forward of analyzing small group dynamics have practical implications for group leaders, and the methodologies described in the book can serve as both a model for research and as a source of research tools.Personal Transformations in Small Groups is the first book to look at small group functioning from an empirical perspective of analytical psychology and will be of considerable value to all those working with small groups or interested in group research.
