Book Description
A mathematical model is presented which describes the changes in affective and effective interaction in theoretically closed human groups. Its assumptions lie mainly in the field of cognitive dissonance. The temporal behavior and steady-state structure of many examples of closed groups are given, and it is shown that a basic unit for their description is the 'snowball, ' which is a maximal, strongly connected set (on effective communication). If the maximum eigenvalue of a certain matrix is less than or equal to unity, the steady snowball is completely connected on effect and mutually positive affect. The relation of the model's predictions with the concepts of balance, blustering, transitivity, and positive balance is given, together with a comparison with Hunter's (1974) model. The stability of the solutions is discussed, together with a brief section on the comparison of models with reality.

Book Description
"The field has been waiting for a masterpiece like Racial and Cultural Dynamics in Group and Organizational Life for a long time. It provides a thoughtful account of the subtle, barely visible, and sometimes unspeakable influences of racial and cultural dynamics that occur in groups." —Leo Wilton, Binghamton University, State University of New York "I believe that by focusing on group diversity, this book aligns with a major trend that has not received enough attention." — Christopher J. McCarthy, University of Texas at Austin This book presents a theoretical framework for understanding leadership and authority in group and organizational life. Using relational psychoanalytic and systems theory, the authors examine conscious and unconscious processes as they relate to racial and cultural issues in the formation and maintenance of groups. Unique among group dynamics texts, the book explores aspects of racial and cultural influences in every chapter. Readers will enhance their analytic and practice skills in addressing factors that impact diverse groups and organizations, including ethical considerations, social roles, strategies for leadership, dynamics of entering and joining, and termination. Key Features Case examples help readers integrate theory and practice, as illustrated in transcripts of interactions from group sessions. A group work competencies list ensures that readers master concepts as they progress through the book. An assessment form allows the student or practitioner to evaluate concrete dynamics of groups, such as size, and gendered and racial composition. This text is appropriate for graduate-level courses incorporating group dynamics and multicultural topics in departments of psychology, education, counseling, and social work. It is also a valuable resource for counselors, psychologists, and other mental health professionals in preparation for group work.

Book Description
In this work we provide mathematical and computational tools that allow us to model the “physics” of human group behavior: how the relationship between the individuals’ characteristics, interaction dynamics, and environmental factors translates into changes in the behavior of the group. We characterize the group dynamics for four specific situations, and show the importance of these models to improve the performance of task-solving groups in organizational management, to design strategies that prevent high-risk behaviors, and to motivate collective action and cooperation in situations that lead to social dilemmas.

Book Description
In Reading the Room, renowned systems psychologist and family therapist David Kantor applies his theory of structural dynamics to help leaders and coaches understand and improve communication within their teams. He helps readers understand how and why they and their teams communicate differently when faced with low-stakes or high-stakes situations, and he provides a framework to help improve leadership behavior in high-stakes situations. Acknowledging that early personal history and adult relationships have an impact on individual leadership and communication, the author discusses how leaders’ awareness of their personal histories can help them become more effective in their leadership teams. Armed with the information outlined in this groundbreaking book, coaches and leaders will be able to: intervene effectively to produce positive change in both the group’s dynamics and its outcomes, help people in the room alter their behavior to better reach their aspirations, identify the recurring sequences of behavior taking place in a group, understand why differing individual preferences for boundaries and rules affect their conversation, and much more. Written to help readers understand the reasons why leaders and teams get along—or don’t—when they communicate in a group, this book will serve as the leader’s “go-to” resource for insight and perspective in leading their team.
