Summary:

This volume is a thorough introduction to operative groups. It starts by guiding the reader through the ideas of Pichon-Rivià ̈re, and then shows how the two schools of group analysis - the British and the Latin-American - coincide, shedding light on the theory behind both and including case material of various groups to illustrate such theory.
