Induviduality and community

Starting point of the analysis is the sociological discussion about the dyn amic balance between individualism and a new reflexive,,Vergemeinschaftung" . It is shown that the related,,We-I-Balance" (Norbert Elias) plays a centr al role in all self experience groups. Group Dynamics is characterized as a method which is itself a product of these social changes and at the same t ime focuses on this dynamic balance. This is exemplified by the qualitative analysis of a group interview with participants of a long term training pr ogram in group dynamics.
