Abstract: Abstract We use this quotation to open further discussions on reasons for the scarcity of ‘true’ teams in and outside of our organisations. One of these reasons is that group psychology could be called individuals-in-the-group psychology for which Chapter 5 provides an outline. We have found that working groups and teams especially, are left wanting because of mutual causation of paradoxical development. Eros and Thanatos in the group cause individual development that causes group dedevelopment that causes individual dedevelopment.
