title: Process groups.
abstract: A Process Group is a group that studies its own behavior to enable its members to learn about group dynamics, individual dynamics, and interpersonal communications. (Swiller, Lang, & Halperin, 1993) Not only is social life identical with communication, but all communication (and hence all genuine social life) is educative. To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience. (Dewey, 1916).
