Description: "Unique in the group literature field, this book generates new principles for examining small group behavior. This second edition continues the discussion about small group and chaos theory, particularly the mechanisms by which groups develop and change. The book emphasizes the importance of conflict in group development, and recognizes that group growth, while progressive, is neither linear nor unidimensional. Particular attention is focused on how groups change, evolve, and mature"--Back cover.
