Abstract
- The idea of a social nature of humans clarifies that the phenomena, usually called intrapsychic, such as mind, freedom and ethics are shared property of the group. How does this idea manifest in the group situation? I present some of my reflections and experiences from practice related to this issue. We can see how the desire for sharing and addressing others creates a new, deeper understanding of relations in the group. I describe how a fellow member unpredictably can become the Other. The I-Thou relations, developed in the group, are ethical in their essence, and it is in these ethical relations that trust is created. Such processes never give the feeling of complete understanding and equality. Something is always missing and this is what drives the group to go beyond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
