An Application of Turquet's Basic-Assumption Oneness to the Analysis of a Group in Search of Utopia
研究Turquet提出的“合一”基本假设在大群体中的作用，认为它是一种群体神话，帮助成员避免分裂和焦虑，但同时也阻碍独立思考和信念审视，并以一个追求乌托邦的群体为例进行详细分析。
This article examines Turquet's basic-assumption oneness as it applies to the large group setting. Oneness is seen as a group myth serving the major function of avoiding membership schisms, and allows members to avoid the anxiety attendant upon the identity problems that emerge in a large group. One particular group is examined. Here a myth of oneness is supported by the members' institutionalized assumption that they cannot arrive at wrong, bad, or unwise decisions. The unity provided by the myth enables the group to pursue a course that members believe will lead to a utopian society. The myth however prevents members from acting in an independent manner and from examining their beliefs. The dynamics of one particular group session are examined in detail.
