Robert,

There are several papers in the journal you have mentioned. I rather call
my paper an outline acting as a prepare because I consider incomplete. Why?
Several resources I could not obtain for the paper due to the time
pressures. I will post the paper online sometime shortly for all to
view...please ignore the last section of the paper that refers to Yalom
(that was done for a class requirement).

According to the articles I sequestered, Kelly believed that Group Therapy
would be a great experimental lab group and favored it. I would encourgare
those interest to pursue Kelly's views on group.

Comments are welcomed on my paper. There are a few grammer errors and
spelling errors here and there.
Thank-you Robert for your comments.

Until then,
Manfred

PS I will post my paper online around 10pm EST and will notify you of the url.

"To say that the same inner cause will reproduce the same effects is to say
that the same cause can appear a second time on the stage of consciousness.
Now, if durations (duree) is what we say, deep-seated psychic states are
radically heterogenous to each other, and it is impossible that any two of
them should be quite alike, since they are two different moments in a life
story."

Henri Bergson
